Thread: Putting an End to Misinformation

That is all completely speculation, if you're going to provide sources, provide something more substantial. Such as the clinical studies which have found that melatonin has a clear effect on REM. That's how misinformation gets spread...he said, she said. Well go look at the original source and see what exactly it says. No one bothers to do that.

For example.

Several studies suggest that melatonin induces sleep without suppressing REM (dream) sleep, as sedatives and other artificial sleep aids do.

Unlike sleep induced by benzodiazepine drugs, melatonin-induced sleep does not suppress Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep and slow-wave sleep-- and does not result in "hangover" feelings the next day [CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY AND THERAPEUTICS; Zhdanova,IV; 57(5):552-558 (1995)].

No REM suppression = no REM rebound
