Okay, Syl... I did find the 'reseach' you mentioned in another post that wasn't following the one just above it. Thanks for telling me that it was at least on the same thread.
I have found melatonin (3 mg at bedtime) extremely helpful for sleep. Within 30 minutes of taking it, I am sleepy and sleep soundly for at least 5 hours. Even at that, I am able to go right back to sleep for another 2-3 hours after visiting the bathroom (bladder).
Irregardless of what studies to date demonstrate, Melatonin DID help me get a good night's sleep. I never considered that it was also helping my IBS, though now I think it probably WAS, as during this time I was IBS symptom free and could eat most anything I wanted in small quantities, absent any diarrahea or bothersome bloating or gas.
Go figure! 
I ordered some more Melatonin today, and am going to start taking it again. It apparently worked well for me, and I didn't realize at the time just how much it was helping many things beyond my conscious awareness of a need for better (sound) sleep.
Let me know if you should find any more studies that you think might be of interest to me.
