melatonin, an over-the-counter and relatively inexpensive dietary supplement taken for insomnia and jet lag, is effective in treating children with autism who have difficulty falling asleep.
Melatonin is a chemical substance in the brain that promotes sleep, Malow said, and children with autism have been shown to have deficiencies with melatonin so there may be a biological reason why the supplement works. Studies have shown melatonin to be associated with minimal side effects.

It assists me in sleeping.
If you're worried about side effects, you shouldn't be since melatonin is a chemical naturally produced in the body.
