I noticed that a bottle of melatonin supplement is labelled "For Occasional Sleeplessness". The use of the word "Occasional" surprised me.
Is there any harm in an adult taking a melatonin supplement every night?

Interesting. I'd interpret "for occasional sleeplessness" as "if you suffer from more than that, get something else / see a doctor, because this won't solve your problem", not as "this isn't safe for long-term use". That I'd expect to be addressed in much stronger language ("not recommended for long-term usage", for example) – YviDe Mar 18 '16 at 19:38
