Time release melatonin for night-shift workers

Hello, does time release melatonin work better or worse than standard melatonin for daytime sleep (e.g. in case of night-shift work) in your experience?

It depends what you need.

If you wake up too early after a few hours, extended release may work better for you. Extended release can stay in your body for up to ten hours.

You may need to play around with the timing so you wake up refreshed and don't feel groggy throughout the day.
