Although melatonin isn\u2019t the be-all, end-all when it comes to sleep aids, behavioral sleep specialist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carlearaweiss.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener sponsored\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.carlearaweiss.com\/\">Carleara Weiss, PhD<\/a>, sleep science advisor for <a href=\"https:\/\/aeroflowsleep.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener sponsored\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/aeroflowsleep.com\/\">Aeroflow Sleep<\/a>, says that it can help reset your circadian rhythm. The ideal dose of melatonin for adults, she adds, ranges from 0.5 to five milligrams; it should be taken 30 minutes to one hour before bedtime. Keep in mind that having <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/too-much-melatonin\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/too-much-melatonin\/\">too much melatonin<\/a> can lead to adverse effects such as dizziness, headaches, and nausea, or in some cases, vivid dreams or nightmares. Blue Bear\u2019s drink is right at that five-milligram threshold.<\/p>\n<h3>L-theanine<\/h3>\n<p>We\u2019ve often spoken about the benefits of L-theanine, seeing how it\u2019s been linked to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/l-theanine-benefits\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/l-theanine-benefits\/\">boosting longevity<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/l-theanine-teas\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/l-theanine-teas\/\">mood<\/a>, and even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/l-theanine-happiness\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/l-theanine-happiness\/\">happiness levels<\/a>.

(For context, Blue Bear contains 102 milligrams of L-theanine per can.)<\/p>\n<h3>GABA<\/h3>\n<p>Gamma aminobutyric acid, aka GABA, is a naturally occurring amino acid that reduces activity in the central nervous system.

Although, in some instances\u2014about three of the nights\u2014I woke up once to use the bathroom (a usual occurrence for me), but found I was able to go back to sleep shortly after.

But then again, there were some nights where my dreams made me feel a bit restless in the morning. That\u2019s to say, I think finding the sweet spot for dosage is key\u2014for me, it\u2019ll likely involve drinking only half a can of Blue Bear a night, and saving the other portion for the next day.<\/p>\n<p><em>This herbal tea can help prepare you for a good night&#8217;s rest:<\/em><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"This Herbal Tea Will Calm You For A Great Night&#039;s Sleep | Plant-Based | Well+Good\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/INvqdQ864mo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-citations mt-[40px] mb-[30px]\" data-module-init=\"main-2020\/post-citations\" data-module-immediate=\"true\">\n<hr class=\"!border-seafoam-dark mb-[24px]\"\/>\n<div class=\"post-citations-content flex flex-col gap-[24px]\">\n<p>Well+Good articles reference scientific, reliable, recent, robust studies to back up the information we share.
