    Melatonin stimulates your bodies vitamin D creation, which makes you tired when it gets dark. It’s not a magical bullet to solve insomnia, but it helps sleep regulation for people who don’t get enough sunlight. You still need some sunlight though, just less.

      Taking vitamin D supplement (which anyone over 45° latitude should) doesn’t make me more tired tho.

      So if you take vitamin D (e.g. D3) would that be better than taking melatonin?
