A meta-analysis of 28 trials finds dietary supplements like tryptophan , Vitamin D, and Omega-3s significantly improve sleep quality by increasing total sleep time and reducing the time needed to fall asleep

Why mention supplements, and not isolate or specify normal dietary intake of these instead? Vitamin D and tryptophan are essential nutrients, their deficiency effects are well documented, and they shouldn’t need supplementation instead of regular intake in most cases.
 Im not seeing a control for these being at normal levels before intake, so they arent estimating if higher than essential levels are playing any role in sleep, or the effect that supplemetation has over regular consumption. What’s the point?
Edit: 3/4 of you have no biology or science background and it shows very clearly. Im assuming everyone who misread my comment is just a bot trying to cause problems. Done replying.

I’m on an SSRI, so whenever I eat carbohydrates my body releases a ton of tryptophan. This makes me soooo incredibly sleepy. I just need to be careful because I can’t do it during the workday.

So does weed. And it’s cheaper than buying a full regimen of supplements.

Ugh. I wish it worked for me. Vitamin D AND Omega-3s give me terrible insomnia. Which really sucks because my vitamin D levels are low.Â
