Melatonin vs. Sleeping Pills: Why Sedation Isn't Sleep
-
Unconsciousness isn't Sleep: Prescription pills are excellent at sedating you, but they often sacrifice the quality of your rest to do it.
-
Protect the Architecture: Melatonin is one of the few options that improves sleep onset without suppressing the deep, restorative cycles (REM and Slow-Wave Sleep) that your brain actually needs to recover.
-
Safety Over Strength: While it may not feel as potent as a Z-drug, melatonin offers a much safer profile for long-term health, avoiding the risks of dependency and respiratory depression.
