Melatonin use in kids.
Mm.
Is is not well studied?
In fact, sleeping medication using kids is not well studied, but there was a s in just a couple of years ago there was a study in the UK, a survey
And they found that in the previous seven years.
There'd been like a h a huge increase in prescription medication, sleeping meds for children.
