Can melatonin supplements really ‘reverse’ DNA damage caused by lack of sleep?

Business To Business, New York, 07 Mar. 25: Sleep is essential not only for feeling rested but also for the body's overall health and functionality. Recent research has begun to explore the profound impact of sleep quality and timing on our cellular health, suggesting that it may influence our DNA—the fundamental blueprint of our cells.
A new study conducted in Canada has highlighted the potential benefits of melatonin, a hormone primarily known for its crucial role in regulating sleep cycles. This research indicates that melatonin may be capable of reversing some of the DNA damage that accumulates as a result of chronic poor sleep.
Melatonin, produced by the pineal gland in response to darkness, signals the body to prepare for rest. In addition to its well-known sleep-inducing effects, melatonin serves as a potent antioxidant, which may help protect cells from oxidative stress and support DNA integrity. The findings underscore the importance of maintaining healthy sleep patterns not only for immediate well-being but also for long-term genetic and cellular health.
