Not being able to sleep? you are not alone, some studies have shown as high as 50-60% of the population have suffered from Insomnia. This video is part of a series talking about the treatment of Sleeping Difficulty aka Insomnia. Today, today we are going to talk about one of the most commonly used sleeping pill in treating insomnia - melatonin.

Melatonin is a hormone that is naturally secreted by our brain to regulate the day and night sleep cycle of our body. Melatonin is secreted when darkness kicks in to promote sleep. and when the sunlight hits our eyes the next day, melatonin production stops and tells our body it's time to wake up.

Now pay attention here, it is the blue-ray in sunlight that triggers wakefulness in our body. This blue ray is the same blue-ray that is emitted from our computer, iPad and phone screens. so remember to set your phone to an automatic night mode switch, where your phone, iPad or computer screens will automatically stop emitting blue light everyday when evening arrives. If you do not know how to set this up, ask google.

Now, thanks to science, melatonin can be manufactured artificially to top up melatonin that is lacking in our body. Melatonin comes in pill, gummy, liquid or spray form.

Some mild side effects have been reported in the use of melatonin such as Headache, Dizziness, Nausea, and Sleepiness the next day. If you feel dizzy, drowsy or sleepy the next day, do not drive or operate machinery. The possible side effects of long-term melatonin use, are unclear at this stage.

Melatonin can interact with some medications, make sure you check with your local pharmacist before taking melatonin if you are taking other medications.

Now besides taking melatonin, remember to practice sleep hygiene. Sleep hygiene are habits that help you sleep better at night. I have made videos about sleep hygiene.

Not everyone responds to melatonin. If your insomnia persists and is not responding to melatonin, and you have already practiced all the sleep hygiene techniques, see your local pharmacist, there are some sleeping pills that your local pharmacist could give you, such as doxylamine. and if what your pharmacist gives you does not work, you need see a doctor for further trouble shooting and get treatment accordingly. Your doctor may prescribe you some stronger sleeping pills and or may refer you to see a sleep therapist.

Now besides a pharmacist and running this channel, I am also a singer songwriter and an actress. I run a second channel where I put out my original music and entertainment videos, There are some relaxation and sleepy music in that channel to help you sleep.

Here is the Relaxation/ Sleep music playlist:

You can run them in a loop, so it plays over and over again. Looping is a setting, where you can find on your youtube window or you could create a youtube sleep music playlist and include these songs in it. I will put the song links down below for you.

Now let me know down in the description box, what methods have you used to help you sleep share any of your experiences or thoughts. This may help someone who has the same problem like you as well. Let me know as well if you have any other videos you would like me to make.
