      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: For randomized allocation performing, permuted block randomization will be used by biohedral blocks. According to the sample size of 42 subjects, 21 blocks will be generated using the online site (www.sealedenvelope.com). Participants will be entered into the study based on the produced sequence. The drug packets will be allocated to the individual with code on them. Therefore, participants will be unaware of the receiving intervention type, as well as the random sequence which will be hidden and unpredictable, Blinding description: To blind the study, unique codes will be used on the medicine boxes. Melatonin and placebo tablets will be placed into the same appearance boxes by an independent third party. Participants will be entered into the study based on the produced sequence. The drug packets will be allocated to the individual with code on them. Therefore, the participant and the researcher will be unaware of the type of treatment and the random sequence generated during the study will be unpredictable.</study_design>
