9. Bedwetting

Children who take melatonin supplements may be too tired to get up during the night, creating an increased risk of wetting the bed. Melatonin can be safe for children, but it's recommended that parents consult their pediatrician before short-term use.

Children should not use melatonin to get to sleep every night. Adults with impeded bladder control may also find melatonin increases urination during the night.
