Melatonin is a hormone that is involved in regulation of the sleep cycle. A high level indicates you're ready to sleep, but it won't necessarily cause you to fall asleep on its own. It is synthesized in the body from serotonin, which is in turn synthesized from 5-HTP and tryptophan. Any of those can act as a sleep aid, but everyone is different, and they might not either.

"Prohibition will work great injury to the cause of temperance. It is a species of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded." --Abraham Lincoln
