Quote:The sleep-promoting effects of tart cherry juice are due to its high content of melatonin, which is a hormone that regulates your internal clock and signals your body to prepare for sleep.

In contrast to taking melatonin capsules to induce drowsiness, I find the drawback in my personal case to be that I wake up three hours later and then can't fall back to sleep at all.
