Sleep and Melatonin


Domanda

What is Melatonin and can it be used to help my child sleep better?

Risposta dei nostri esperti

Melatonin is good for sleep induction, if that is a specific problem, not really for maintaining sleep through the night. I generally do not use "sleep medicine" (except maybe for melatonin) because it generally does not agree well with children. Klonopin is a benzodiazepine that is used for anxiety that has good sedating properties when taken at night, but probably not indicated if only sleep is a target. However, if there is anxiety or mood swings one can try it. It can cause some physiological dependence (the body needs it to go to sleep after some time)
