Melatonin Side Effect #1: Daytime Sleepiness

Some people swear that melatonin doesn’t cause daytime drowsiness, but this isn’t the case for all people. Some people are very sensitive to melatonin, and others will be at risk due to the overdosed supplements available. These people are more liable to experience daytime grogginess.

This is a common thread that runs among sleep aids of all sorts. Sure, they’ll help you get a good night’s sleep - but sometimes that sleep draws on for too long (oversleeping) which can leave you hungry for even more sleep during the day. Stronger sleeping pills can have such a powerful effect that they leave people incapacitated and lethargic for more than 24 hours after their dose.
