New sleep supplement shows promise for menopausal women

This study tested a daily dietary supplement designed to improve sleep in women aged 40 to 65 going through menopause. 128 women with moderate sleep problems were randomly assigned to take either the supplement or a placebo for about three weeks. Sleep quality, nighttime awakenings, and daytime alertness were tracked using daily diaries and weekly questionnaires. The goal was to see if the supplement could safely improve sleep compared to a placebo.
