Is Melatonin Safe to Take Every Night?

If you are taking melatonin, you may want to discuss it with your doctor.  Melatonin is a natural hormone secreted by the brain that tells your body when to feel sleepy.  It’s kicks in around 9.   Is it safe to take every night?  That’s the debate.  Most health sites the ones we’ve checked say yes but for only for the short term.  Consult your doctor especially before giving it to children.  Taking too much can also cause excessive headache, dizziness, fatigue, irritability and even depression. By the way, many fruits including pineapples contain melatonin.
