Fabric If your bedroom isn’t dark enough for melatonin production to ramp up, you may struggle to fall or stay asleep. When the sun comes up, exposing us to daylight, our melatonin levels fall and we wake up. Once it starts to get dark, your body starts secreting more of a hormone called melatonin, which makes you feel sleepy. It’s all to do with your circadian rhythm, also known as your body clock, which follows nature’s day/night cycle.
