The Connection Between Melatonin and Sleep Temperature

Melatonin, often associated with sleep regulation, also plays a critical role in controlling our body temperature during the night. As we prepare for sleep, melatonin helps lower our core body temperature, making us drowsy and facilitating sleep onset. It continues to regulate our temperature throughout the night for a restful slumber. Disruptions in melatonin production, caused by factors like artificial light exposure and irregular sleep schedules, can lead to sleep disturbances. To optimize your sleep temperature with melatonin
