Summary
Melatonin is known for its sleep aid properties, but it has other benefits like being a stress-resistant protein, having antioxidant properties, stimulating autophagy in the brain and more. Melatonin helps to balance signaling versus chronically signaling oxidative molecules, but one should have a proper dosing and use it for other benefits.

Summary
The body creates melatonin not only during sleep, but also during the day, as it is a defensive hormone, not a sleep hormone. Melatonin is found in plants and is an ancient hormone that is evolutionarily conserved across almost all species.
