Taking 3 grams of glycine before bed might help people fall asleep faster
Scientific Claim
Glycine ingestion (3 g) before bedtime is associated with reduced sleep onset latency in individuals with chronic unsatisfactory sleep, as measured by polysomnography
Source Excerpt
“Glycine improved subjective sleep quality and sleep efficacy (sleep time/in-bed time), and shortened PSG latency both to sleep onset and to slow wave sleep without changes in the sleep architecture.”
