Non-Melatonin Sleep

Meaning

Non-Melatonin Sleep refers to the achievement of restorative sleep quality and duration through mechanisms that are entirely independent of or strategically complementary to the direct exogenous administration of the hormone melatonin. This concept emphasizes optimizing the entire sleep-wake cycle by focusing on foundational physiological drivers, such as GABAergic signaling, adenosine accumulation, and the crucial management of stress hormones like cortisol. It is a sophisticated, root-cause approach to comprehensive sleep health that moves beyond simple hormonal supplementation.
