If you're exhausted all day and your mind switches on the second your head hits the pillow, there are five supplements with real research behind them. Dr. G ranks all five and shows you the three he'd put together for a real night's sleep.
He covers the 2023 study that tested 25 melatonin gummies off US shelves and found 22 of them didn't match their own label, why the ashwagandha bottle almost never tells you which extract is inside, how ordinary room light before bed cuts your melatonin window by about 90 minutes, and why no supplement will out-run the stress you haven't dealt with.
Melatonin resets your clock. Ashwagandha is for stress. Magnesium matters because most of you are low. L-theanine quiets a busy mind. GABA is the gentle one for a wired body.
