Compare to Melatonin

Cabinet Natural Sleep Aid is a commonly used dietary supplement and over-the-counter sleep aid (OTC sleep aid) used to help relieve sleeplessness. The active ingredient, melatonin, is a hormone that your brain (the pineal gland, to be exact) naturally makes to regulate your sleep-wake cycle. Melatonin production is actually related to the amount of light present. Melatonin levels usually increase after sunset and remain increased throughout the night to promote sleepiness. In contrast, melatonin levels decrease early in the morning and remain decreased throughout the day to promote wakefulness. Exposure to different forms of light at night, time zone changes, and changes in daylight patterns can all affect your body's production of melatonin. Levels of melatonin also decrease gradually as we age.

Cabinet Natural Sleep Aid can be used to relieve a variety of sleep problems including: jet lag, circadian rhythm sleep disorders in the blind, delayed sleep-wake phase disorder, shift work sleep disorder, changes in sleep schedule, sleep difficulties associated with autism spectrum disorder and general insomnia.

Adults over the age of 18 can take one (1) softgel daily an hour or two before sleep. Do not take more than one (1) softgel in a day unless recommended by a doctor or pharmacist. Taking high doses of melatonin does not provide stronger or quicker relief of sleeplessness. This product is not recommended for children under the age of 18, unless directed by a doctor. Cabinet Natural Sleep Aid should be stored away from young children. Tip: for melatonin to be most effective, avoid bright light or light from phones and televisions prior to sleep.

It is recommended to stop using Cabinet Natural Sleep Aid if you experience insomnia or trouble sleeping continuously for more than two weeks. If needed, melatonin can be used for up to two months with a break of one week. This product can be a short-term option for better sleep, but not a treatment for chronic insomnia or sleep problems. Seek medical advice from a healthcare professional if you have been having sleep issues for over two weeks. Sleeplessness that is present for a long time, may be a symptom of something more serious. It may be beneficial to discuss your sleep hygiene, sleep patterns, sleep quality, and overall wellness with a sleep specialist to get specific recommendations.

Combining alcohol with melatonin supplements can result in severe drowsiness, which can put you in a dangerous situation. You should avoid alcoholic drinks while taking Cabinet Natural Sleep Aid.

While short-term use of melatonin is generally considered to be safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding, not enough data currently exists to recommend the use of this product. Some studies have found that melatonin can get into breast milk and affect your breastfeeding infant. Make sure to consult with a doctor or pharmacist before using Cabinet Natural Sleep Aid.

In addition to its desired effects, melatonin may cause some less desirable side effects. Everyone is different, so some people may experience no side effects at all, others may experience mild side effects, and a small number of people may experience rare or more serious adverse effects. Some side effects of melatonin include: headache, dizziness, nausea, drowsiness, daytime sleepiness, and irritability. Some patients may experience side effects that are not on this list. Signs of melatonin overdose may include daytime sleepiness, difficulty concentrating, moon changes, nightmares, anxiety, dizziness, and headaches. In the case of an overdose, contact a Poison Control Center (1-800-222-1222) or seek medical attention immediately. Check in with your health care provider or local pharmacist if you have questions or experience serious side effects. Always check with your doctor or pharmacist prior to taking Cabinet Natural Sleep Aid if you have ever had an allergic reaction to any of the ingredients this product contains.
