Melatonin 1 mg
Melatonin (1mg) will be administered daily during the intervention. Melatonin capsules will be obtained from Life Extension (Ft. Lauderdale, FL). The investigational drug pharmacy (IDP) at Northwestern Memorial Hospital will encapsulate the melatonin pills so the placebo (lactose) and melatonin pills appear identical. We have worked with this IDP on other projects. The investigators on this study have experience in administering melatonin for investigational and clinical purposes.
Placebos
Placebo will be administered daily during the intervention. The investigational drug pharmacy (IDP) at Northwestern Memorial Hospital will encapsulate the pills so the placebo (lactose/starch) and melatonin pills appear identical. We have worked with this IDP on other projects. The investigators on this study have experience in administering melatonin for investigational and clinical purposes.
