Well, there's no danger of - at least not in the sense (we all produce melatonin in our pituitary glands). See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melatonin; https://www.nhs.uk/medicines/melatonin/.

Replying to someone
Thank you - that's really interesting! I suspect my friends have already seen it (they're pretty clued up; they've recently bought their son a weighted blanket, which he absolutely loves, but unfortunately it's too hot for it at the moment, and honestly the heat's doing a number on everyone's sleep, autistic or otherwise). But it's good to keep in mind. (Oh, and my nephew has melatonin on prescription. He's now in a residential school so I don't know how often they give it to him, but my sister used to reserve it for emergencies so he didn't become dependent.)
