TL;DR
This pilot study demonstrates the chronobiotic efficacy of LY when taken at a dose of 5 mg/d, and significantly blunted the post-shift deterioration of performance in those tests that were sensitive to shift lag.

Findings show melatonin may have potential benefits for international aircrew after a series of international flights and showed a trend in jet lag, mood, and sleepiness measures toward an improved recovery in the late melatonin group and a worse Recovery in the earlymelatonin group as compared to placebo.
