What supplements can I take to sleep

For better sleep, the Huberman Lab suggests several supplements. Here are some recommendations from Andrew Huberman:

1. Magnesium Threonate or Bisglycinate: These forms of magnesium are favored for their ability to cross the blood-brain barrier and aid in sleep onset and depth. They might also provide neuroprotective benefits 1 2.

2. Apigenin: Found in chamomile, this can help reduce anxiety and promote sleep by acting as an estrogen inhibitor. However, caution is advised for those concerned about maintaining estrogen levels 3 2.

3. Theanine: Known for increasing GABA levels and having a calming effect. It can enhance dream vividness, so it may not be suitable for everyone, particularly those prone to vivid dreams 1 3.

4. Myoinositol: Effective for those who wake up during the night, helping to reduce the time it takes to fall back asleep 2.

Andrew Huberman emphasizes trying these supplements individually or in combination to see what works best. He also advises consulting healthcare professionals before starting any supplementation regimen and suggests using resources like Examine.com for more information on supplements 4 5.
