What Is Melatonin?
In understanding insomnia, sleep disturbances, and, the way Rozerem works; it’s really important to first know at least a tiny bit about the hormone (secreted by the brain’s pineal gland) known as melatonin.
What melatonin does is create a quick and mild sleepiness-inducing effect. The melatonin signal partially regulates the circadian cycle by chemically causing drowsiness to fall upon the mind. Now, like most scientific matters, melatonin is more complicated than this quick description. And, like most scientific matters, this gets really confusing.
For our purposes, it’s most important to understand melatonin as our brain’s natural hormone which makes us sleepy. The wonder of Rozerem is that it is a melatonin receptor agonist (rather than a depressor of the central nervous system.)
What this means is that the Rozerem stimulates the release of melatonin in your brain, and, thus, one can achieve the desired sleepiness. Many thousands of people no longer suffer the torture of insomnia as a result.
In addition to Rozerem, of course, it’s also beneficial to practice good sleep hygiene.
