Improving Deep Sleep: Insights and Supplement Recommendations

A user discusses their struggle with getting sufficient deep sleep despite a healthy lifestyle. Suggestions include various supplements like Melatonin, Magnesium, L-Theanine, Glycine, and Valerian Root to enhance deep sleep and overall sleep quality.

  • I have an Apple Watch which I use almost exclusively to record sleep which is illuminating because I get on average 45 minutes of deep sleep a night, very very rarely does it get over 1 hour. I always wake up feeling like I’ve been comatosed for the past 3 decades.

    Healthy in all other regards: muscular, healthy weight, smoke (don’t even start), seldom drink, don’t drink caffeine about 6 hours before sleep. I doubt I have sleep apnea, but alas I am unmarried, so maybe I just cease breathing every night for a full minute and there is nobody to tell me. I often eat quite late as well so that may be a factor. (Yes my room is cool, no it can never quite get cold enough).

    Thanks

  • It's great that you're monitoring your sleep with your Apple Watch. Deep sleep is crucial for physical health and well-being, so it's understandable to be concerned about only getting around 45 minutes per night. There are several supplements that might help promote better and deeper sleep. However, it's important to note that I can't diagnose any conditions, and if you suspect sleep apnea or any other serious sleep disorder, it's best to consult with a healthcare professional.

    Here are some supplements that you might consider to improve your deep sleep:

    1. Melatonin: This is a hormone that regulates the sleep-wake cycle. It's often used to help with sleep disorders and could potentially help increase deep sleep1.
    2. Magnesium: This mineral plays a role in over 300 enzymatic processes in the body, including those related to sleep. Magnesium deficiency can lead to sleep disturbances2.
    3. L-Theanine: An amino acid found in green tea, it promotes relaxation and can help improve sleep quality without sedative effects3.
    4. Glycine: An amino acid that has been shown to improve sleep quality and promote deeper sleep by lowering body temperature4.
    5. Valerian Root: This herbal supplement has been used for centuries to promote relaxation and improve sleep quality5.

    Would you like me to find specific product recommendations for any of these supplements?
