What Can Be Done To Aid The Brain To Produce Melatonin?
My son has extreme sleep deprivation. He has undergone tests and a sleep lab. The result indicates that his brain has stopped producing melatonin, which I am told is a chemical released to induce sleep. Is there a way to get his brain to produce this needed chemical? He has tried sleep aides, both prescription and over the counter, and nothing works.
