Common Wisdom: Melatonin and sleep Melatonin & sleep: Clinical Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine, MLT), synthesized by the pineal gland, has been reported to have hypnotic effects in humans, although results are still controversial (Brzezinski et al., 2005; Buscemi et al., 2006). Controversial studies on the role of melatonin in sleep, even if there is a concordance on the soporific effect and sleep-inducing effects of melatonin. Melatonin & sleep: Animal Animal studies have demonstrated that MLT reduces time to sleep onset and increases both NREMS and REMS (Holmes and Sugden, 1982; Mirmiran and Pevet, 1986), both effects being blocked by the GABAA receptor antagonists flumazenil and picrotoxin (Wang et al., 2003a). Other studies showed little or no effect (Mailliet et al., 2001; Wang et al., 2003).
