How much l theanine for sleep?

According to the clinical research, L-Theanine is an amino acid that promotes relaxation without causing drowsiness. My consulting physician suggested a dose of 100mg to 200mg taken about 30 to 60 minutes before bedtime. It is generally safe and well-tolerated for improving sleep quality.

L-Theanine capsules can cost around 600 to 1000 rupees a bottle. Before buying expensive imported brands, try checking local Indian brands which are much cheaper. If your sleep issues persist, it is better to budget for a proper vitamin D and B12 test first, as their deficiency often causes insomnia.

Beta, these new pills like L-Theanine are just extracts. Drinking a cup of warm milk with a pinch of nutmeg (jaiphal) or turmeric before sleeping is our traditional way to calm the nerves. Try these natural home methods first for a week before starting any capsule.

My son was having sleep issues due to exam stress, and we gave him 100mg of L-Theanine after asking our pediatrician. It helped him relax gently without making him feel dizzy the next day. Along with it, keeping phones outside the bedroom at night really helped him.

You can naturally get L-Theanine by drinking a warm cup of green tea or chamomile tea in the evening. If you want to take supplements, 200mg is the standard dose. However, if your insomnia is chronic and causing severe daytime fatigue, please consult a sleep specialist instead of relying on supplements.
