It's like, you know, saying that focusing on your blood veins makes blood flow quicker in them. Or that you can release seratonin by focusing on your brain. Now, I'd like to have such power over my body! :)
Lack of light produces more melatonin, but if you're going to produce it "at will", that's going to be a self-suggestion. And while it may work for you in the way you expect, it doesn't mean anything in particular. You attach special significance to your forehead, you believe in it, so it works.
But if you concentrate on your toe before falling asleep it's going to have the same result.
Anyway, you may be interested in a book called "DMT. The spirit molecule" by Rick Strassman from 2001. He was investigating the pineal gland's "third eye" function with help of drugs.
