Myo inositol for sleep

Sources:

Myo-inositol may help sleep. The described amount is 900 mg, taken 30–60 minutes before bed; reported benefits include falling asleep more readily and having an easier time falling back asleep after waking during the night.

  • Sleep depth and quality: It was also described as improving perceived sleep depth and quality.
  • Daytime anxiety and stress: Myo-inositol was linked to reduced anxiety and a calmer, more stress-resilient feeling during the day; its serotonin effects were offered as a possible explanation.
  • Combining supplements: The 900 mg dose was described as being taken alongside magnesium threonate, apigenin, and theanine; the speaker reported better sleep with the combination, but did not establish that combining them necessarily improves results for everyone.
  • Higher doses: Much larger doses used in studies were associated with gastric discomfort, and some participants stopped taking them for that reason.

The reported sleep benefits are personal experience; consider discussing supplement changes with a physician.
