Myth vs Fact

The Myth:

More melatonin helps you sleep better.

The Facts:

Taking too much melatonin can actually disrupt your sleep cycle.

The Science:

Melatonin is a hormone your body naturally makes to help you sleep. But if you take too much melatonin, your body can get confused and stop making enough on its own. This can make it harder to fall asleep without taking more and more melatonin, creating a cycle that messes up your sleep. It can also cause grogginess, headaches, and even weird dreams.

L-theanine is a better option because it helps your body naturally produce melatonin and serotonin, which are both important for sleep and feeling good. Instead of forcing your body to sleep, L-theanine gives it what it needs to relax and fall asleep on its own—without the side effects!

Foundational Habits

• Avoid caffeine in the afternoon – Caffeine stays in your system for hours, so skipping it later in the day can help your body wind down naturally.
• Get at least 15 minutes of movement – Even a short walk, playing with your kids, or light exercise can help signal to your body that it's time to rest at night.
