2ds agoA recent study from JAMA Pediatrics shows that nearly 1 in 5 adolescents use melatonin to help them sleep.
Research found that 6% of children ages 1 to 4, and 18% of kids ages 5 to 9 are given melatonin by parents as a sleep aid.
The body naturally produces melatonin but it can be taken as an over the counter supplement.
