Melatonin's Surprising Health Benefit

Melatonin's Surprising Health Benefit - Not Related To Sleep

Melatonin is commonly thought of as a sleep hormone that goes up before bedtime to make you sleepy. It’s profoundly delayed by exposure to any artificial lights, especially blue light. It’s been recently discovered that melatonin is also produced by the mitochondria in every cell of your body in response to the near-infra-red (NIR) spectrum of sunlight. Melatonin in the mitochondria is a powerful antioxidant, as well as activating various other anti-oxidants, such as glutathione. Eating a poor diet, including processed foods, alcohol, seed oils, and high fructose corn syrup can create free radicals, which can injure the mitochondria as well as DNA. This can also lead to cancer. Near-infra-red (NIR) light can penetrate your clothing, skin, and even your skull. NIR is also found in campfires, fireplaces, and candles. It’s important to get exposed to plenty of daytime sunlight, especially in the early morning or late afternoon hours, when UV A and B are at their lowest.

I have had much more success being able to sleep as I take a 4 mile walk every morning now. It is invigorating. I live in an area with lots of trees and flowers, chirping birds, lizards crossing the pathways. So it is a nice area for walking. And I listen to videos on health. I am a 70 year old woman. And so menopause has finished most of its tantrums and so I am more myself a gain. The walks in the mid-morning I am out in daylight and dress so the light can get on my skin. I have blue eyes so I wear dark glasses. Being able to get a night’s sleep has greatly improved. Only once have I taken GABA, recommended by my doctor. Sometimes I am even getting a 2 hour nap in the afternoon. I do you my iPad in the evening but turn in on dark mode and then I cut the brightness even more. So all theses things together with eating a Whole Foods Plant-Based diet, have helped and it is really nice to get the sleep. I have not slept this well in years.

I took Melatonin for a while because due to high stress I couldn't fall asleep very easily and if I did manage to fall asleep I would easily wake up. Melatonin helped me stay asleep, well, at least until about 4 or 5am. At the time it was better than I could do on my own.

I also got blue blocker glassesfor when I use the phone or computer before bed. I spend 15 minutes in the sun in the morning.

I am blind and have non-24 hour sleep disorder, so I take melatonin to keep my circadian clock on track. I originally started with 3 mg, and ended up with nightmares and anxiety before I fell asleep. A friend suggested that I dramatically reduce my dose to half a milligram, and that works perfectly. I take it an hour to two hours before bed, and the drowsiness I experience feels exactly like if I get drowsy during the day when I don’t take melatonin and my sleep quality is fantastic. When I pair that with making coffee in the morning, my sleep schedule is great. I can absolutely say that melatonin has changed my life, particularly now that I have found the right dose and a good quality brand. Since the FDA doesn’t regulate supplements, it’s important to make sure the quality of melatonin you’re taking is high enough. I take pure life capsules which claims to be pharmaceutical grade.

Dr. Park - thank you so much for this important information and your lucid and concise presentation. I had never had problems with sleep as a child or younger adult, although as a person with ADD, my sure sedative was reading to decrease my racing mind. In my sixties, however, I began to wake at times, partially due to bladder demands, but also to have more problems falling asleep. I tried making sure I had a cool room, not eating close to bedtime, and lowering the brightness as well as turning the blue light off on my tablet as I read myself to sleep, but none of it worked regularly. I heard about melatonin in an educational symposium I attended for maintaining my RN licensure. The naturopathic physician who presented a portion of the topics discussed its use, but was careful to stress that the jury was still out on whether oral dosing might affect the level of natural melatonin. She also noted that there was some evidence that melatonin was, however, similar to some drugs like Remeron that often were found to be more actually effective at lower doses. So I sought out a melatonin tablet that is 1 mg, and started taking half the tablet. With that, I now fall asleep quickly and sleep deeply; if my bladder is quite insistent, I can wake, go to the bathroom, then return to bed and go back to sleep easily. I have occasionally gone to bed forgetting the melatonin and although I may read for a longer amount of time before falling asleep, I do fall asleep without it. I do get a fair amount of natural light, as I work or sit in my garden and walk daily. I don't know if the lower dose would work for those with severe sleep problems, but perhaps with light exposure it might.

People only dream when it’s a deep sleep. Your dreaming didn’t increase, it’s just your sleeping much deeper, and dreaming is a byproduct of deep sleep.

@BC-wj8fx Жыл бұрын

@@ronbo30 Nonsense! Hypnagogic dreams and Wake Induced Lucid Dreams essentially start from an awake state and descend directly into dreaming. They completely blur the transition between awake and dreaming. One can experience dream-like images overlaid on the waking field of view, or elements of the waking world are pulled into the dream and continued. As for melatonin, I experienced what the OP describes: I would have frighteningly vivid dreams. And it wasn't a deeper sleep: quite often I would act out the dream, semi-awake or at least partly aware of my surroundings. E.g. I awoke from one very active dream as a teenager, I had got down from the top bunk bed, pulled the mattress off, and I was standing on the other side of the room swinging a pillow around in my sleep because I was dreaming of fighting robots. I was sweating, heart beating faster, and out of breath from the effort when I woke up. Other times with melatonin I'd wake from a scary dream and find myself standing on my bed scratching at the ceiling. One cannot call that deep sleep or say that dreams only happen in deep sleep. I often have my best dreams in a 10 minute snooze after the alarm. I've dreamed instantly in micro-sleeps at work. One time at work I clicked on the Windows calculator and started calculating the volume of a cylinder. Then I woke up and realised it was a micro-dream and actually I'd been clicking my mouse on blank space and the calculator wasn't open. (edit: like OP, as i am older, melatonin does not give me these scary active dreams. Now it just gives me more dreams and more interesting, creative dreams. As does glutathione)

I used melatonin for a while around 10 years ago (3 mg) not because I couldn't sleep, but because I learnt it was a great antioxidant for the brain cells. 4-5 years after I wasn't taking it, I started with sleep problems (many variants of insomnia) on and off. Some nights I take 10 mg (the tablets I have now), but as a Swiss clock (or hypnotic drugs), they give me exactly 4 hours of sleep. And, as someone already said, lots of vivid dreams.

You should not use melatonin regularly if you are under 55 yrs. Your body should be making it. When you expose your body to sunlight, it makes a lot of melatonin naturally. You may be short on Progesterone hormone that may affect your sleep, so check your hormone levels. There are a new class of hormones called Bio Identical, and they are creams. This may help get your Progesterone hormone up to normal levels again. Don't use the conventional chemical hormones like Progestin, Premarin, Testosterin - all cancer inducing.

Great summary of many different research clarifications recently. In reading recent papers on brain disease similarities and differences, it seems very likely that many are hinting that mitochondrial dysfunctions that limit ATP production, reducing available cellular energy for autophagy and other essential functional needs, may be closer to actual 'root cause' in common than the usual differences emphasized in current medical paradigm clinical practices. Another lack of common medical paradigm current teaching oversimplification is concerning to me, in that we all have toxicologically significant body burdens of the toxic metal lead accumulated in our bones that can become recirculated into soft tissue whenever bodily stresses of illness, old age, pregnancy etc. cause the body to draw on bone calcium stores for additional calcium. Lead adversely affects many physiologic pathways at the most vulnerable times, including reduction of essential levels of glutathione, especially perhaps in mitochondria. ROS may be increasingly left too long in mitochondria for efficient ATP production. When melatonin presence can be easily increased for free by NIR sunlight, to greatly assist glutathione levels in mitochondria, it just may be getting significantly closer to understanding and correcting some of the dysfunction that could be 'root cause' lack of total energy behind physiology in the brain, that leads different regions of the brain to seem to have different symptomology and subsequent etiologic compartmentalization between brain diseases? But, I'm just 'some guy on the internet' fascinated by reading this stuff! But, I now go out into the sun much more than I have for years now, because as I read more research, it appears likely that we all can benefit if it is carefully done, by selectively emphasizing getting NIR and D3 wavelengths while minimizing too much UVA exposure. Thanks for your excellent summary in this video! IMHO

Well said. We all need more sunlight as well as Vitamin D rich foods. Early morning and late afternoon is best to avoid UVA. With doctors recommending avoiding sunlight and using sunscreen, there's some evidence that skin cancer may have dropped slightly but all other cancers are slightly up. Since adopting a low-fat diet, we now have an epidemic of fat-soluble vitamins, especially D. I agree with you on the toxins issue. Besides lead, there's mercury, aluminum, fluoride, glyphosate, xenoestrogens, medications, and various others that stress the liver as well our mitochondria.

Great video with good information. I started taking Melatonin at the start or Jan 2023 to help me sleep, by the end of Jan 2023 I was down 10lbs of weight, I was at 287lbs and now at 277lbs, I thought this could not be related to Melatonin and probably something else. Now fast forward to Oct 2023 and I am now down to 235lbs from 287lbs and I did not change my diet and still drink as much soda as ever and the weight keeps dropping. Now, I typically take between 20mg to 30mg a night and when I wake up in the morning, I'm super hungry, but I don't have any side-effects other than some really surreal and crazy dreams. My doctors didn't find anything wrong in blood work and refuse to say its related to Melatonin (Not enough research is the default answer... Guess pharmaceuticals don't pay enough for those studies) ... I was worried that taking supplemental Melatonin gummies would disrupt my ability to produce it on my own, so once or twice a week I stop taking them but I find I still feel sleepy when its bedtime and I sleep almost as good... At this pace I should be down to 190lbs by next year and the best part is the weight is coming off slow so I don't have any extra skin to worry about hanging loosely on me...

Your video format is information dense, to the point and relevant, especially for my case.

I started taking melatonin about 2 months ago. I suffered from a sleep disorder most my life, along with intense anxiety, but getting PTSD following an attack that left me with injuries and it all really went to hell in a handbasket. The whole lot together made a negative feedback loop where I had no regular sleep pattern, nor even true sleep. I could stay awake for days, just collapsing into unconsciousness for short periods of time before coming to, as anxious as I was before. I didn't even dream properly. Doctors tried to help and thought I had complex anxiety and prescribed me SSRIs and such, which did nothing for the sleep. This lasted about 10 years and my mental health really suffered. Only when my brother's children got autism diagnoses did we get an inkling this might be part of my problem. I had the assessment, and yes, I'm on the autism spectrum. And anxiety and sleep problems are a big problem for a lot of people on the spectrum. As I'm in the UK, getting a melatonin prescription is really hard. Ordinary GPs can't prescribe it; only specialists. So I had to first try a cognitive behaviour-based sleep clinic, which didn't really work for me. Luckily though, they did have the specialists on-board who could prescribe melatonin. It has been almost miraculous. I have a basic sleep pattern now, though there will be times that my anxiety can break it. But the melatonin can get me back into it within a few days. Understanding the connection to sunlight is great, as one of my sensitivities is to bright light. So when my anxiety was high I found it difficult to go out during the day. Now I understand how that meant I didn't have any melatonin production, as well as a really bad Vit D deficiency. Interestingly, when I could go out I always tended to go to green spaces as they made me feel much better. My anxiety would always come down. But from this post I see I was getting some melatonin to my cells too. Glad I stumbled across this. It's been really clarifying.

@judycrisenbery2982 9 ай бұрын

How much melatonin do you take? 5 mg only gets me about 4 or 5 hours:-(

@LambentIchor 9 ай бұрын

@@judycrisenbery2982 I only spoke about the melatonin in the comment, but there was another aspect to my problem. Before getting my autism diagnosis I began surgery to fix a failing dental bridge. Afterwards, I began having pain in that side of my head. Long story short, I had developed tempero-mandibular disorder. This added pain to everything else. When the sleep clinic therapy failed I was put in contact with a psychiatrist who worked with them. He prescribed me mirtazapine; only half of the tablet, which is 15mg, a night. This because people with chronic pain are helped by it, and also, a low dose makes you sleepy. So this was the beginnings of me sleeping. But it didn't cure my sleep disorder. While it's hard to know for sure, it's quite possible that all my problems began as delayed sleep-wake phase disorder. It is more common in adults with autism. There is some evidence that autistic people secrete less melatonin. Trying to fit into an ordinary circadian cycle when working and going to college left me severely sleep deprived, which then caused a whole autistic burnout. At the time this wasn't understood. But this is what caused my sleep problems to go into overdrive. The mirtazapine started me sleeping, but I was still having problems in trying to fix a normal sleep schedule. I would tend to fall asleep at 4 or 5am, and need to sleep till mid-day at least. Adding the melatonin means I can take it and the mirtazapine at 10pm and feel ready for bed at 11pm. First time in my whole life. I only need to take half a 2mg tablet of melatonin as well. And since taking the melatonin I've been able to halve the mirtazapine dose. However, this is likely due to being extra sensitive due to autism. You can be hypo-sensitive to drugs, or like me, hyper-sensitive, so you need less. One time, the pharmacy lost my prescription for mirtazapine. By the time I got it fixed I had gone five days without it, only taking the melatonin. By the third day I had started to wake after 3 or four hours and have difficulty going back to sleep. I went back to sleeping the whole eight hours once back on the mirtazapine. So from this I take it that the melatonin helps me by triggering my sleep response and establishing a normal circadian rhythm, but it is the mirtazapine that makes sure I sleep the whole way through the night. Similarly, it sounds like in your case the melatonin gets you to sleep, but that doesn't mean you sleep the whole way. I know this is a lot of information, and I have to add that this is all very specific to me. My autism is the most likely cause of my sleep problems, and my hypersensitivity means I can do well on low doses. But mirtazapine at a low dose to help sleep is effective in people who don't have autism. It's sleep-inducing effect and the help with chronic pain are more fortunate side-effects of what is a drug for depression and anxiety. And the sleep effect comes only when taking a low dose. I can't say if your doctor would prescribe it, as it depends on your case. I give all the information to give a clearer picture, and I have no medical background so I can't advise. But maybe it will be helpful.
