Brief Summary   Direct laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation during general anesthesia acts as a powerful noxious stimulus which causes stimulation of sympathetic nervous system. This leads to various responses in various physiological systems of the body such as tachycardia, hypertension, arrythmia, bronchospasm, increased intracranial pressure, elevation in intraocular pressure. 
Melatonin is a natural substance produced mainly in the pineal gland Its secretion is high during night and low during day.premedication with sublingual/oral Melatonin is associated with pre-operative anxiolysis and sedation without impairment of orientation, psychomotor skills, or impact on quality of recovery.
Clonidine parasympathetic activity by acting on alpha receptor present over tractus solitarius Major site of action for this sedative/hypnotic. Clonidine has various properties like sedation, anxiolysis, antisialogogue, potentiates the anesthetic action of the drugs and reduces their requirements during surgery and attenuation of stress response to noxious stimuli on tracheal intubation.
