Melatonin

Does anyone have any comments on using melatonin with OSA? Husband's results indicated latency to sleep stages and I was curious if melatonin would assist in reducing this time? Would his regular doctor be able to test for low melatonin via blood test or am I just looking for a quick fix instead of being patient for cpap success?
