Re: Supplements for sleep

In reply to Supplements for sleep, posted by Lao Tzu on February 15, 2009, at 7:27:54

I've found that adding vitamin B1 100mg at bedtime to the supplements mentioned as well as increasing my intake of fish oil has improved my sleep habits. Also, keeping calcium supplementation to a minimum because in my case too much calcium can interfere with my sleep because it can have a stimulating effect in some people who have been taking it for a while. Initially, when I first started taking calcium, this mineral acted more sedating than stimulating, but now is the exact opposite. So this works for me:

750mg Niacin sustained-release
500IU of natural vitamin E
75mg P5P (vit. B6)
1/4 tablet of melatonin
100mg B1
And increasing your daily fish oil intake

Let me just say that I am schizophrenic, and these supplements are greatly beneficial to me. They may or may not work for you, but it's worth a try.
