Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Melatonin is a hormone that regulates sleep-wake cycles. Taking a melatonin pill in the early afternoon can disrupt the body's natural production of melatonin, leading to drowsiness within two hours. However, taking melatonin too early can also cause difficulty sleeping at night, so it is best to take it a few hours before bedtime. Option A and B are not likely outcomes of taking melatonin, and Option D is only partially accurate as sleep quality may be affected but not necessarily always.
