Reduce insomnia

What this outcome means

Insomnia severity captures how hard it is to fall asleep, stay asleep, and feel rested, and how much that struggle spills into your days. On DoseRank it maps to a defined health outcome built from human studies on the Insomnia Severity Index, sleep-onset latency, and nighttime awakenings – data sourced from open sources and specialized resources. DoseRank is not medical advice.

Who it's for

Onset insomniaLying awake long past lights-out, unable to drift off.

Maintenance insomniaWaking in the small hours and failing to fall back asleep.

Daytime falloutPoor nights that leave focus and mood frayed by day.

Stack buildersAlready taking supplements such as Melatonin and want the dose right.
