2. Apigenin: Found in chamomile, it may help promote relaxation.
3. Theanine: Known to increase relaxation and improve sleep quality.
4. GABA: A neurotransmitter that can aid in reducing sleep latency and improving overall sleep quality.

For Wakefulness Enhancement:

1. Caffeine: Commonly used to enhance alertness and concentration.
2. L-Theanine (when combined with Caffeine): May improve focus and reduce the jitteriness sometimes associated with caffeine.
3. Tyrosine: An amino acid that may improve cognitive performance under stress or fatigue.
