3. Melatonin - Why You Might Want to Avoid It
Melatonin is often marketed as a natural sleep aid, but there’s growing concern among health professionals about its safety and long-term effects. Some research suggests a link between melatonin supplementation and issues like poor eye health, including retinal detachment, as well as disrupted natural circadian rhythms.
Instead of taking melatonin supplements, support your body’s own melatonin production naturally. One effective way is to get exposure to natural sunlight in the morning, which helps regulate your internal clock and encourages your body to release melatonin naturally at night—right when you need it.
