First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a single dose of nicotinamide riboside (NR), a form of vitamin B3, can improve sleep in healthy adults who have mild sleep troubles. Twenty participants will have their sleep measured overnight using advanced monitoring, after taking either NR or a placebo. The goal is to see if NR affects total sleep time and sleep quality.
