If you are having trouble with sleep and are lethargic throughout the day, there are two questions you should ask yourself: 1. Are you drinking coffee after 2 p.m.? Are you eating right before bed? You should ensure you’re cutting off caffeine in the afternoon and stopping eating two hours before bed. You should consider supplementing if you have those two bases covered and still struggle with sleep. Click here to pick up the famous Huberman Lab Sleep Bundle.

Theanine is an amino acid found in tea and is thought to increase feelings of calm by interacting with alpha brain waves. Alpha brain waves are brain waves that are associated with relaxation. Huberman has mentioned many times that he uses Momentous L-Theanine. Theanine is believed to relax the mind without causing drowsiness by significantly increased activity in the alpha frequency band. Data indicates that its use as a dietary supplement can dramatically affect mental alertness. Beyond that, increased alpha activity plays a vital role in focusing correctly. In a small number of cases, theanine is problematic for those with night terrors or that sleepwalk in that it increases the intensity of dreams. It has also been found to have the opposite effect in that it can be too stimulating for about 10% of people that try it and can keep them awake.

If you have ever had a cup of chamomile tea at night to relax, then you are familiar with apigenin’s effect. Apigenin is one of the active ingredients in chamomile and is believed to assist in sleep onset. While promoting muscle relaxation and sedation, apigenin is also an anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-amyloidogenic, and neuroprotective substance. It was hard to find apigenin after Huberman announced it as part of his sleep cocktail, as the few brands that sold it quickly became sold out. To fix this gap in the market, Momentous launched their apigenin product for a fraction of the price of the other brands.

Inositol is the fourth supplement of Dr. Huberman’s ‘sleep cocktail.’ Inositol facilitates the proper metabolism of our “feel-good” hormones, which allows for better release of certain chemicals in the brain, such as serotonin. Serotonin is a precursor to melatonin, which is why it is excellent for sleep and relaxation. Since taking inositol, Huberman has said he has noticed improved sleep. More specifically, he has seen how he can sleep better through the night. Huberman takes 900mg of Momentous Inositol before bed.
