The study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of melatonin supplementation in CKD and ESRD patients with sleep disorders to reduce sleep latency times, the number of apnea/hypopneic episodes, and prolong duration in rapid eye movement (REM) sleep in CKD and ESRD patients with sleep disordered breathing.

RECRUITINGPrimary Objective
Patients taking melatonin supplement, 1mg or 3mg daily, compared to placebo controlled group will be compared to see who group achieved a 25% reduction in sleep latency or 25% increase in total sleep time at the end of 60 days. Using the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire as the index to measure quality of sleep and sleep patterns. Study will also use Polysomnography testing that will record duration of sleep patterns.
Time frame: Compare sleep duration at the end of 60 days
