What are the best supplements to take for sleep?

For better sleep, the Huberman Lab suggests supplements like Magnesium Threonate or Magnesium Bisglycinate, Apigenin, Theanine, Myo-inositol, GABA, and Glycine. These have been found to enhance sleep in various ways:

• Magnesium Threonate/Bisglycinate: Facilitates quicker sleep onset and deeper sleep 1.
• Apigenin: This chamomile derivative may reduce anxiety and help turn off the brain's ruminating thoughts, aiding in falling asleep 1.
• Theanine: Increases GABA, aiding in sleep. Watch for vivid dream side effects which may disrupt sleep for some 2.
• Myo-inositol: Beneficial for those waking in the middle of the night, helping to fall back asleep 3.
