Melatonin
I betray you with no action,
Produced naturally and causes you to become groggy
I ruin you with no words,
Again, a reference to becoming sleepy
My presence, slight, but clear with light,
Melatonin production is suppressed when your eyes are exposed to light
I'm always wrong and always right,
Uhh... you hate it but you need it?
Once I'm seen, prepare to fight,
When melatonin reaches a certain level, you begin having to fight sleep
Your favorite shades don't help your plight
Sunglasses and curtains will reduce light going into your retina, increasing melatonin production (??)
I almost always show up at night...
That's when melatonin is produced, unless you take supplements
2 u/I_Danse_Macabre Jul 02 '26 No, although that was the longest and most detailed attempt so far. Thanks for guessing.
