It's prescription-only in Australia
Unlike the US, melatonin isn't sold over the counter here. That's why so many Aussies search for what it does — and what to use instead.
Grogginess is the most-reported next-day effect
A heavier-feeling morning is the side effect people mention most. Some also report vivid dreams or headaches.
It can shift your natural rhythm
Because melatonin is a hormone, regular use can affect your body's own timing if it's not needed.
Non-hormonal options exist
Ingredients like magnesium glycinate, L-Theanine, GABA and ashwagandha support a calmer wind-down without touching hormones.
