Normally melatonin levels begin to rise in the mid- to late evening remain high for most of the night and then drop in the early morning hours. Light affects how much melatonin your body produces. During the shorter days of the winter months your body may produce melatonin either earlier or later in the day than usual. This change can lead to symptoms of seasonal affective disorder (SAD) or winter depression. Natural melatonin levels slowly drop with age. Some older adults make very small amounts of it or none at all. Melatonin helps control your sleep and wake cycles.
