Impact of Commercial "Sleep Lotion" on Salivary Melatonin Levels and Sleep Quality in Undergraduates

Completed · Not applicable · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Sleep

In brief

The goal of this clinical trial is to test an over-the-counter "sleep lotion" in healthy undergraduate college students. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does an over-the-counter "sleep lotion" containing melatonin actually increase melatonin levels in participants compared to a placebo (control) lotion? * Does an over-the-counter "sleep lotion" containing melatonin improve the quality of participants' sleep compared to a placebo (control) lotion? Participants will: * provide three saliva samples on each of two nights * apply melatonin-containing "sleep lotion" on one night and a placebo (control with no melatonin) lotion on the other night * answer questionnaires about gender, race, ethnicity, medication use, exercise, and sleep quality
