Aging is linked to melatonin through the observed decline and irregular secretion of the hormone as the body ages [1], [2]. Furthermore, the interplay between melatonin, circadian rhythms, and sirtuins is a recognized area of study regarding the biological processes of aging [3].

claimThe earlier shift in sleep timing during aging is believed to mirror biological alterations in the circadian rhythm, including an overall decline in melatonin levels, earlier melatonin release, an advance in cortisol secretion, and a diminished range of core body temperature fluctuation throughout the day.
