Possible health risks amid rise in melatonin use for sleep, study warns
Description
February 6, 2022
A recent U.S. study found a sharp rise in the use of melatonin as a sleep aid as a potential solution as people flag issues sleeping due to increased stress But as Global’s Jamie Mauracher reports, researchers say it’s not without health risks and there is not enough research to determine how dangerous long-term overuse may be.
