What supplements can help with sleep?

Andrew Huberman recommends several supplements for enhancing sleep quality. Key supplements include:

1. Magnesium Threonate and Magnesium Bisglycinate: These forms of magnesium help reduce the time it takes to fall asleep and promote deeper sleep by crossing the blood-brain barrier and inducing mild drowsiness 1.

2. Apigenin: A derivative of chamomile that helps reduce anxiety and sleep latency, allowing for better sleep onset 1 2.

3. Theanine: Known for its calming effects, theanine can assist in falling asleep by calming the mind. However, it may cause vivid dreams, so individuals prone to such effects should be cautious 3 4.
