L-theanine has much better evidence for supporting sleep than L-threonine. It is a naturally occurring amino acid found in green tea and promotes relaxation without acting as a sedative. For sleep: * Starting dose: 100 mg taken 30–60 minutes before bedtime. * Typical effective dose: 200 mg before bed. * Some studies have used up to 400 mg, but most people do well with 100–200 mg. L-theanine may help by: * Increasing alpha brain wave activity, which promotes a calm, relaxed state. * Supporting GABA, serotonin, and dopamine signaling. * Reducing stress and anxiety that can interfere with falling asleep. * Improving sleep quality without typically causing morning grogginess.
