Melatonin is best known for helping regulate your sleep-wake cycle, but researchers are studying other potential benefits, too. Early research suggests melatonin may help reduce the frequency and duration of migraines, while there’s stronger evidence for easing jet lag by helping reset your internal clock. It has also been studied for reducing anxiety before medical procedures. Research into melatonin and blood pressure is less clear, so it shouldn’t be used as a treatment for high blood pressure. If you’re considering melatonin, talk with your doctor about whether it’s right for you and what dose may be appropriate.
