Melatonin won't improve the quality of your sleep. It might induce sleep if your body doesn't naturally produce melatonin, e.g. due to going to bed at very different times throughout prolonged periods. But, outside of that, melatonin isn't very useful as a sleep quality enhancer.
Similar to CBD, IIRC, one would have to take very large amounts of CBD to produce any statistically significant effect on one's sleep, and CBD gummies are not the most bioavailable CBD there is.
My guess is it's placebo rather than anything else.

This has been my experience with melatonin too.
I usually wake up after 3-4 hours and find it hard to get back to sleep after. I have no issues getting to sleep the first time.
Taking melatonin in the evening before I sleep (even a high dose of a few mg) doesn't affect whether I wake up, but if I take it immediately after I wake up, it helps me to fall asleep again for the rest of the night.
My sleep issues seem to be caused by stress, so maybe CBD would be good for me.
