Melatonin is particularly effective in older adults, regardless of endogenous melatonin levels, in both the short and long term, with improvements in sleep quality, morning alertness, sleep onset latency, and quality of life, without adverse effects or addiction. Additionally, melatonin has been shown to improve sleep quality in children with various sleep disorders, including delayed sleep phase syndrome and sleep maintenance disorder, or other sleep-related disorders. Timed-release melatonin has demonstrated clinical improvements in mood in individuals with sleep disorders, as well as cognitive performance in individuals with Alzheimer's disease.
