Default Re: Herbal Sleep Remedy, Melatonin

Melatonin is not an herbal. It's actually a hormone. What you buy in stores is a synthetic version of the hormone your body produces. It's produced in the pineal gland in the brain and it's production is stimulated by darkness and inhibited by light.
Your body naturally produces melatonin between 6 and 8 pm so if you take half a tab close to that time it should lessen the hangover.
