“Sleep hygiene is like being told to wash your hands: it can prevent an infection, but it can’t treat one,” said Michael Grandner, director of the sleep and health research program at the University of Arizona College of Medicine—Tucson.
“If you cross the line to a sleep disorder, you need some help.”

According to him:
We don’t have to be an early riser, the doctor said.
Melatonin, known as the sleep hormone, is associated with control of the sleep–wake cycle.
Our body naturally produces it, but scientific community and people have shown a great interest in external sources of it, such as liquids or capsules, as a way to address sleep difficulties.
