0:00.0	The melatonin hormone slowly starts to rise in the evening as cortisol goes down and then that's
0:06.7	what makes you start feeling sleepy. And women with PCOS tend to have an issue with melatonin
0:12.0	receptors on the ovaries and they're not as receptive to melatonin. So sometimes taking a
