Many individuals experience problems sleeping from time to time. Whether they’re lying awake at night, waking too frequently, or a mix of both, not getting enough sleep can cause a multitude of unwanted health problems. Taking a combination of melatonin and l-theanine helps to reduce stress, enhance relaxation, and improve sleep.
Melatonin is a hormone the brain produces to regulate the sleep-wake cycle, also known as circadian rhythm. Brightness and darkness influence melatonin production. Light suppresses melatonin synthesis, so scrolling on smartphones or watching TV late at night can have a negative effect on individuals’ ability to fall asleep. While the blue light emitted by electronic screens is more disruptive, even muted bedroom lighting can dampen melatonin production. Extensive travel for work and shift work may also cause melatonin disturbances. When individuals begin experiencing sleep difficulties, many turn to melatonin supplements as a solution.
L-Theanine is an amino acid found in tea leaves, with the highest concentrations in green tea. It has unique properties, as it can promote relaxation without sedation. Research also shows that theanine has stress-relieving properties that enhance the quality of sleep by helping the brain relax. Stress, worries, or feelings of unease can all cause sleep disturbances, ranging from difficulty falling asleep to problems staying asleep to poor quality of sleep. Stress can also make it nearly impossible to relax. Theanine supplements may help individuals reduce their stress and improve their relaxation for better sleep.
As dietary supplements, the combination of melatonin and theanine may provide the following benefits:
Individuals typically tolerate melatonin and theanine well. Unlike many sleep aids, melatonin and theanine are non-habit forming. Some of the most common melatonin side effects include headache, dizziness, and sleepiness. In most healthy adults, theanine has no known side effects.
Individuals should take 210mg of melatonin and theanine supplement one hour before bed with water. For accurate dosing, individuals should use a digital milligram scale.
