In reply to melatonin, posted by c on September 3, 2001, at 12:23:06
Kayumov, Leonid PhD, ABSM. A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Crossover Study of the Effect of Exogenous Melatonin on Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome. Psychosomatic Medicine. 63(1):40-48, January 2001:
"In conclusion, melatonin was an effective treatment for patients with Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome (DLSP, a fancy way of saying 'insomnia'), as confirmed by both objective and subjective measures. No adverse effects of melatonin were noted during the 4 weeks of treatment. The “phase-advanced” sleep during melatonin treatment significantly decreased {sleep latency} compared with placebo but did not alter sleep architecture from that of phase-delayed sleep."
I could e-mail you any study about melatonin in existence if you like....
