    Dr. Michael Breus answered:

    Melatonin treats circadian rhythm disorders (where you sleep the right amount of minutes but your body clock is at the wrong time), shift work sleep disorders and early morning awakenings – all things that deal with the timing of your need to sleep. Melatonin is not considered an effective treatment for insomnia.
