Abstract: Abstract: Self-medication is a public health problem, where some medications become popular, and people end up taking them on their own, as is the case with melatonin, a hormone naturally produced by the human body, and when it is deficient, it ends up interfering with several factors in the quality of individuals' health, including sleep quality. Therefore, the aim of the study was to investigate what problems can be caused when people self-medicate with melatonin. This research was carried out through a literature review, where the analyzed materials were selected through a survey that took place on academic research websites such as BVS, Scielo and Lilacs. In conclusion, the use of melatonin in correct doses and with a medical prescription can be very beneficial for your health. However, self-medication with melatonin for insomnia can represent a serious problem for people's health for several reasons. Therefore, it is essential that people seek appropriate medical advice for the treatment of insomnia to ensure a safe and effective approach to managing sleep and overall health.
