Efficacy and safety of exogenous melatonin for secondary sleep disorders and sleep disorders accompanying sleep restriction: meta-analysis

Sir,

I am a medical doctor, healthy, 46 years old and usually have not
insomnia. I had to go on a transatlantic flight and fortunately I knew
about your research. For insomnia I took melatonin 3 mg once the first
night and once the second after my arrival at New York from Rome. My
insonnia disappeared in a few minutes and I slept well for 8 hours or
more. When I was back in Italy I repeated the same treatment with the same
result. Maybe I am very sensitive to melatonin. In the same occasions I
think I shall prescribe melatonin to my patients.

Yours respectfully,

Giuseppe P. Mazzarello
