I personally dont think they compare. I use xanax or ambien and they actually put your body into a sleep where as for me anyway melatonin just makes my sleep a deeper one but doesnt necessary make me sleep in situation where I couldnt normally...like being on a plane. I take xanax (prescribed by my doctor) and it works fine for getting me to sleep in a plane which I can never do without some help.
