EMF suppresses melatonin
[MELATONIN] Melatonin: The Answer To Electropollution? Melatonin and the Pineal Gland

[J] "Circadian rhythmicity of antioxidant markers in rats exposed to 1.8 GHz radiofrequency fields" - 2015, full text available - melatonin, glutathione peroxidase, superoxide dismutase
[J] 'Effects of prenatal 900 MHz electromagnetic field exposures on the histology of rat kidney.' Melatonin and omega 3 fatty acid prevented adverse effects of EMF on the kidneys.
[J] EMF and Cryptochrome' by Oscillatorium. Magnetic sense and circadian rhythm.
[J] EMF suppress pineal gland's production of melatonin, DMT and pinoline and elevate serotonin inducing lower consciousness
"Eight out of ten people keep their cellphones on and close by as they sleep, and approximately half of us use our phones as an alarm clock."
Melatonin's role in neurodegenerative diseases: ALS and MS
[J] The anti-apoptotic activity of melatonin in neurodegenerative diseases by Xin Wang
[J] Melatonin inhibits the caspase-1/cytochrome c/caspase-3 cell death pathway, inhibits MT1 receptor loss and delays disease progression in a mouse model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
People not asleep by 10 pm have a higher risk of cancer and neurodegenerative diseases due to lower melatonin peak.
[HORMONES] Insomnia Trilogy: Deficiencies of the B vitamins, inositol, vitamin A , vitamin D , vitamin K, calcium, magnesium, tryptophan, GABA, taurine and melatonin or too much potassium and cortisol can lead to insomnia.
[J] "A lack of melatonin and melatonin receptor 1, or MT1, is associated with the progression of ALS." Mice treated "developed symptoms later, survived longer, and had less degeneration of motor neurons in the spinal cord."
[J] The influence of vitamin D supplementation on melatonin status in patients with multiple sclerosis
Melatonin could help treat multiple sclerosis
Melatonin negative correlation with MS relapse. (less melatonin more relapse) EMF reduces melatonin.
Melatonin and ADHD
[ADHD] "Circadian rhythm disorder: Melatonin tends to be suppressed and delayed in ADHD." EMF causes circadian rhythm disorder and reduces melatonin.
Melatonin and autism
Autistic children have 'increased levels of epinephrine, norepinephrine, aspartic acid, and dopamine (i.e., excitatory neurotransmitters), and very low levels of serotonin and GABA' and melatonin. Do people with RWS and EHS?

Treatment
[J] [MELATONIN] [LITHIUM] 'Low doses of lithium carbonate reduce melatonin light sensitivity in healthy volunteers.'
https://www.reddit.com/r/Electromagnetics/comments/3vpk87/j_melatonin_lithium_low_doses_of_lithium/
Maximum protection was achieved with 300 nM galantamine (56% protection) and 10 nM melatonin (50% protection), the highest level for each.
