See the scientific wording

Ashwagandha root extract improves sleep quality in humans when taken daily for 60 days.

Why this might work

Ashwagandha compounds enter the brain and calm overactive stress circuits, lowering stress hormone levels and reducing brain inflammation. This allows the brain to switch off nighttime alertness more effectively, leading to deeper and more restful sleep.
