Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to test an over-the-counter "sleep lotion" in healthy undergraduate college students. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Does an over-the-counter "sleep lotion" containing melatonin actually increase melatonin levels in participants compared to a placebo (control) lotion?
* Does an over-the-counter "sleep lotion" containing melatonin improve the quality of participants' sleep compared to a placebo (control) lotion?

Participants will:

* provide three saliva samples on each of two nights
* apply melatonin-containing "sleep lotion" on one night and a placebo (control with no melatonin) lotion on the other night
* answer questionnaires about gender, race, ethnicity, medication use, exercise, and sleep quality
