Melatonin is the first and only effective remedy for jet lag...
... it's especially effective for west-to-east travel...

It's also useful as an occasional remedy for insomnia
- especially for people working late shifts - or for people
with disturbed sleep cycles. If you go through periods where
you're dead tired at 7 p.m. and then awake at, say, 11
p.m., melatonin might change your cycle, allowing you to
go to sleep at a better time and for the whole night.

... Because it is a brain hormone, secreted by the pineal
gland, with very general effects on the body, ... wary about
recommending it on a regular basis over long periods of time.

You should be aware that the quality of melatonin products on
the market is uneven, and many dosage forms are too high.
A 1 mg tablet taken under the tongue is probably more than enough.
