Summary
Sleep is crucial for overall health, affecting various aspects including mood, energy levels, weight, and sexual health. Melatonin, a hormone that regulates the sleep-wake cycle and diminishes with age, can be naturally boosted or supplemented to improve sleep quality and provide cancer protection. Optimizing melatonin production involves avoiding light exposure from electronic devices and getting bright sunlight during the day. Taking melatonin supplements, starting with low doses, is also recommended for improving sleep.
