I've talked about this in various podcasts before also acts as a bit of a anxiety lowering compound , which is essential prior to sleep , for people to essentially turn off their thinking or to be able to reduce the amount of ruminating and problem solving and future anticipation that they're doing , which is a requirement for falling asleep . So , what's the rational approach to supplementing in a way that allows you to fall asleep more quickly and stay asleep ? Well , would you immediately take magnesium three Nate and Apogen in together ?
If my dreams are too vivid and I'm waking up in the middle of the night from excessively vivid dreams , I'll drop the theanine and many people actually derive great benefit from that approach . But because today , we're talking about the most rational cost effective and biologically effective approach to supplementation . If you're not sleeping as well as you would like to , or if you want to explore what sleeping even more deeply might do for your mental health , physical health and performance .
If for instance , you're somebody who falls asleep just fine , but wakes up in the middle of the night around two or 3 a.m. or any time for that matter and has trouble falling back asleep . There are two categories of supplements that you might want to consider . The first is myoinositol .
But people who take those often find that their transition time into sleep is much faster and their sleep is also much deeper . Incidentally , those supplements are also thought to be useful for cognitive support and neuro protection . Although there's less data on that .
And for you know , many , many other people , other people who wake up in the middle of the night will wake up because their dreams are very intense or they were having dreams that were so vivid that suddenly they were jolted from their dreams . Those people would do well to avoid certain supplements . So in a moment , I'll talk about the value of a supplement called Theanine for Falling Asleep .
