What do you do to get some sleep?

Char,

Have you tried L-Theanine?

L-theanine (not to be confused with D-theanine which does not have

the same properties) is a naturally occurring amino acid found in tea

plants and the primary component in green tea.

While L-theanine has been shown to reduce stress, promote relaxation

without drowsiness, ease nervous irritability¹ and lower anxiety, it

can also safely and effectively induce sleep.

What's so remarkable about L-theanine is its inherent paradoxical

effect.

Taken during the day, users experience a focused, alert sense of calm

without feeling drowsy.

Yet because it induces a state of relaxation, L-theanine can also

help you fall asleep at night without the " hung over " or sedative

effect the next morning, a common side effect common in some sleep

aids.

Research Finds Link Between L-Theanine and Improved Sleep Quality -

A research study conducted by the National Institute of Mental Health

in Tokyo³ gave 22 male subjects 200 mg of L-theanine before bedtime

for six days.

Results recorded through interviews, self-reported questionnaires and

an actigraph to record body movement during sleep, indicated that the

L-theanine improved the quality of sleep in all respondents, noting

they felt " less exhausted " the next day.

The study also showed that for many of the subjects, L-theanine

produced a significant increase in " sleep efficiency, " the index of

actual sleep time enjoyed between the time of falling asleep and

waking.

As a result, they reported a reduced need for sleep the next day as

well as feeling a superior mental state before falling asleep and

having fewer nightmares.

Although none of the participants slept longer after taking L-

theanine, the quality of their sleep improved significantly.

Always talk to your Doctor before taking any dietary supplements.

Where do I get it and is L-theanine a vitamin or a herb or what section do I look for it in the store?
