What other sleep supplements exist?

In addition to the supplements previously mentioned, such as Magnesium Threonate and Apigenin, Andrew Huberman discusses several other supplements that can aid in sleep improvement:

1. Theanine: Often used to increase sleep quality by calming the mind and reducing anxiety. It can generate vivid dreams, so those with sleepwalking tendencies should be cautious 1.

2. GABA (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid): Acts as a neurotransmitter that helps reduce neuronal excitability, promoting relaxation and sleep. However, it should not be used nightly to prevent dependency 2.

3. Glycine: This amino acid may help to improve sleep quality by lowering body temperature and promoting a state conducive to falling asleep 3.

4. Inositol: Particularly useful for people on low-carbohydrate diets or fasting before sleep, as it can help with the transition into sleep without affecting dietary restrictions 4.

These supplements are generally safe but should be tried individually to assess their effectiveness and compatibility with your body. It's always advisable to consult a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement regimen to ensure they are appropriate for you.
