Dr. Jack Kruse also warns against melatonin supplementation. For different reasons than Huberman. And he doesnt sell supplements. Try look into his podcasts. Or his forum. Its mentioned in there too.
Thanks for keeping on point regardless of who is the source of credibility, status or influence.
Thanks for watching!
When I miss out on sleep, next day I’ll take small amount of melatonin(0. 2mg or so), + lemon balm pill + usual glycine, this helps me sleep amazingly and if possible, i manage to sleep for 8-9 hrs, which never usually happens without the stack
you sleep longer and better because you missed out on sleep day before. Its called sleep debt.
Good video. You’re a great source of challenging health information.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the heads up about what is being said out there. I’m avoiding it because it has not budged my sleep stage deficit (nothing actually has yet, maybe besides a relaxing, social day). I’ve never had a problem falling asleep in any condition. But i do do a sleep routine, trying my best.
Slow release melatonin exists if people have trouble with sleep through the night. 2 mg of non-slow release melatonin works fine for me, once or twice a month when needed. Exercise also works great for working up a serious good night of sleep.
Taking L theanine in the AM with Coffee seems to help with Sleep I have been taking Liposomal Berberine, Magnesium Glycinate and Melatonin at night and that DOES help with Sleep
That was a great video!
I tried Huberman’s ingredients not his product, but magnesium l-threonate, ashwagandha but it did not help at all.
I took melatonin once and it was much better, your research seems to be consistent with what I’ve experienced.
Btw, that’s one of the few videos if not the only one that has such a great work of detail that you’ve put together, and it’s likely unbiased,
Thanks!
There is no need to go any further than the “Godfather of the Pineal Gland”, the distinguished Dr Russel Reiter. No one has more published research than this titan of science on the subject of melatonin. You will be astounded by his scholarship. Melatonin is FAR more than a soporific
Agree with you 100%, I find, especially for those north of 40yo and women, adding in low dose melatonin along with lifestyle and HRT (including progesterone) can make a huge difference in sleep architecture
Good job Siim! I appreciate your ability to find and review the relevant research.
Melatonin makes me feel depressed the next day. The same way as did cannabis and XTC (yes, tried both in my younger years)
I tried melatonin, and Andrew Huberman was right- I woke up a couple of times per night.
I took his sleep stack and noticed when I took the magnesium l-threonate I had a really bad headache the following day.. it felt like a migraine.
I’ve always needed a quality melatonin supp…As I’m neurodivergent and hyper creative. Source Naturals are my fave brand! No nightmares lol
Good review of Melatonin, Siim. Thanks. I have tried using it at various dosages to aid in my sleep deficiencies with very limited improvement. However, it does seem to help with jet lag most of the time. Regarding Magnesium supplements, I am trying those now. I was surprised by the wide variety of magnesium compounds available, and the wide range of bioavailability. One of the inexpensive ones is Magnesium oxide with only a 4% bioavailability, so this is something to watch for.
I expect that the studies where people woke up around 4 hours later were relatively high-dose melatonin. Your body produces 1/40th to 1/20th the amount in many of these supplements per night. I find when I take a dose this large, I will wake up 4 hours later. When I take a fraction of a pill, it helps me fall asleep and I don’t wake up a few hours later. I also find glycine helpful, and take magnesium at least a couple of hours before sleep but not threonate. Magnesium threonate is amazing for memory and recall, but we found that when taken immediately prior to sleep, it could induce bad dreams which disrupt a good night.
Thank you for addressing this Siim, I respect Andrew’s work etc., however this one thing about melatonin always confused me especially since yourself and many others purport the benefits of melatonin. Thank you again.
Every time Siim pronounces “Good” an angel gets its wings.
Thank you. I take melatonin for years and it works very good for me. 8 hour sleep without waking up. I was confused after his podcast. So thank you for clearify. X from Holland
