Abstract
Melatonin and melatonin agonists offer novel treatments for sleep and mood disorders, particularly where circadian misalignment is also present. The therapies offer both phase-shifting and sleep-promoting effects and have shown potential to treat advanced and delayed sleep-wake phase disorder, non-24-h sleep-wake cycle, jetlag, shift work disorder, insomnia, seasonal affective disorder and major depressive disorder.Entities:
