I have a question about this episode Developing a Rational Approach to Supplementation for Health & Performance | Huberman Lab Podcast and this Better Sleep Are there supplements I should consider if I have trouble staying asleep?

If you're having trouble staying asleep, there are several supplements you might consider based on insights from the Developing a Rational Approach to Supplementation for Health & Performance | Huberman Lab Podcast and the Better Sleep. Here are some key suggestions:

1. Myoinositol: Taking about 900 mg of myoinositol is recommended for those who wake up in the middle of the night. It can help shorten the time it takes to fall back asleep and has additional benefits for mood and other aspects of health 1.

2. Magnesium Threonate or Bisglycinate: These forms of magnesium have been shown to improve sleep quality, including helping people stay asleep longer. Typical dosages range from 200 to 400 mg, taken about 30 to 60 minutes before bedtime 2 3 4.

3. Apigenin: This is a derivative of chamomile that can assist in both falling and staying asleep by reducing anxiety and promoting relaxation. A usual dose is around 50 mg 2 3.

4. Theanine: While beneficial for promoting sleep onset, it can cause vivid dreams in some individuals, which may disrupt sleep. Therefore, it might be better to avoid it if you experience vivid dreaming that wakes you up 1.

Always consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement regimen to ensure they are appropriate for your individual health needs and circumstances.
