Deep dives
Sleep supplements are not that effective
Sleep supplements are often marketed as a solution to sleep problems, but they are not very effective. They often claim to improve sleep quality or help with falling asleep faster, but the evidence for their effectiveness is limited. Good sleep hygiene practices and a healthy lifestyle are much more important for improving sleep. Supplements like melatonin may have some benefit in supporting sleep hygiene habits, but they are not a cure-all. Other supplements that claim to reduce stress and improve sleep, like CBD or stress support blends, may have some effects, but the benefits are often exaggerated. It's important to prioritize healthy sleep habits and overall well-being for better sleep.
