Many scientific studies have suggested that taking melatonin tablets can induce sleep. ███ ████ ████ ███ ████ ████ █████████ ██ ███████ ██ ████████ █████████ ████ ██ ███ ███████ ████████ ████ ██████ ███████ █████████ ███ ██ ████ ██ ███ ████████ ████ █ ███ ██ ███ ████████ █████ █████████ ████████ ██ ██ █████████████ ████████ ██ ███

Summarize Argument

The author concludes that studies don’t necessarily indicate that melatonin helps people with insomnia. This is because few of these studies have dealt with people with insomnia, and very few people in the studies overall were significantly affected by melatonin.

Notable Assumptions

The author assumes that people with insomnia are categorically different than other people when it comes to falling asleep. In other words, the author assumes that the way melatonin induces sleep in people without insomnia isn't necessarily applicable to people with insomnia. The author also assumes that melatonin has to have a “significant effect” to be relevant to people with insomnia.
