Insomnia issue
I have been experiencing difficulty falling asleep for almost 6 months now. Recently I have been taking melatonin supplements for like a week and i feel like it's helping me fall asleep and also prevents waking up in between. I tried to sleep without taking a tab today and couldn't fall asleep. So i would like to know is it safe to take melatonin supplements everyday and for how long would it be okay to take continuously?

Melatonin is a safe medicine with little side effects. If there is only insomnia, you can tackle it by sleep hygiene and some dietary modification
