Good day, I have been taking melatonin off and on for a number of months and have found that it generally helps me to sleep. To my knowledge I am healthy and am here to gain information for my lady, Becky. In my experience, I have greater problems sleeping when I eat too much protein or sugar late in the evening. I believe that both of these substances affect sleep in a negative manner. It might be beneficial to review how many sweets or how much protein is being eaten to see if they might be causing the sleeplessness.
