What melatonin overuse does to your body: Side-effects, long-term risks, and how to use it safely
Melatonin, once a gentle sleep aid, is now overused, leading to next-day grogginess and disrupted natural rhythms. High doses can blur night and day, causing vivid dreams and difficulty concentrating. Long-term excessive use risks circadian rhythm disruption and dependency. Experts advise using the lowest effective dose, taken before bed, and prioritizing healthy sleep habits over constant reliance.
