The best vitamins for sleep

- Your body needs some key nutrients to maximize both the quantity and quality of your sleep. Vitamins such as D, E, C, and B6 and B12 give you strong bones and muscles, maintain cardiovascular health, and can help with the production of hormones like melatonin and seratonin.
If you consume a standard Western diet, it's unlikely that you're getting all the nutrients you need. Supplements can play an important role in filling those gaps. Join sleep expert, Dr. Michael Breus, as he describes why these vitamins are so important, what the LACK of these vitamins can do to your sleep, and ways to get your recommended daily allowance from both supplementation AND your diet.
Always talk to your doctor before starting supplements, too. Getting the proper dosing - and the timing - of your supplements is critical for success.

Always God's Grace! Amen!
I can fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow; my problem is, I don't stay asleep. I generally awaken anywhere from two to three hours of sleep. If I get four hours of sleep at night, that is a really good night. I am under a. lot of stress in my family so I am sure that does not help at all.
Best vitamins for sleep
1. Vitamin D - sunlight, fatty fish/fish oil, egg yolk, dairy, juice
2. Vitamin E - nuts & seeds, spinach, broccoli, tomato
3. Vitamin C - citrus fruits, broccoli cauliflower brussels sprouts, kale spinach red bell peppers, green red chilies, strawberry kiwi
4. Vitamin B6 - banana, carrot, spinach, potato, milk, cheese, fish, whole grains (excessive B6 is linked to insomnia)
5. B12 - dairy, eggs, meat, fish, shellfish
Thank you!
Thank you for the summarization
I take all those vitamins except B6 & B12 & they didn't help me sleep:-(
Magnesium Bisglycinate about an hour or so before bed. 300-450 mg.
Some time ago, I was told by a nutritional therapist, that if you are taking statins, they interfere with your ability to synthesize vitamin D from sunlight exposure. One video that talks about statins and vitamin D etc is 'If you take a statin, Do these 7 things Right Now! (Lipitor, Crestor, Zocor)'. It is on KenDBerryMD channel (19 Aug 2023). I have also watched a video of Dr. Eric Berg DC saying that having enough potassium helps with your sleep.
I get so jealous of people who can fall asleep as soon as their head hits the pillow. 😂
Ja,me too,but when i turn a bit older,my sleeping conditions started
Me too
When I was younger, I could sleep 10 hours a night. Once I got to be 70, the table turned & was fortunate to get 5 hours of sleep, sometimes only 3
Thank you guys !!! much appreciated !!
I'm looking for this kind of topic ....... Thank you ....
Thanks for wonderful information
❤️❤️
Thanks for the information
All these are great! I have been drinking "Tart Cherry Juice" it's helping me a lot!
Thanks doctor's
When taking an anti convulsant It caused me a greater need for B6. Ot also jelps me when my nerves are bad. Carole Pauk Toronto
Thanks DR❤❤
You guys are great ❤
Glad you found the video helpful!
I'm in the Sunshine State, not in New York, but lately it feels like this is NYC. Cloudy, dreary and cold. Lol
You haven't suggested any dosage for any of these vitamins ?
8:34 Watch for excessive amounts of B6 in multivitamin tablets. My magnesium tablets had 60mg of B6 in them (unknown to me), with the same brand having 60mg of B6 in their multivitamins. They are toxic doses with the daily recommended amount being 1.5mg. Most people get that amount easily from food.
Excess levels of B6 can cause peripheral neuropathy. My last blood tests were 3 times higher in B6 than the level known to cause peripheral neuropathy in some people, so I had to immediately switch to a magnesium without B6. Always check to see if B6 is in any of your supplements.
Same thing happened to me. I was on a methylated b complex for 9 months and it gave me all sorts of odd symptoms and really messed up my sleep. I've sleep much better since getting off it.
So only 1.5 mg B6?
Got it: always check for B6, 60 mg is way too much
“L😊😊
Mine is 100mg
Thank you for this valuable information
Any med contraindcatos for these vitamins ?
Thanks for info. When is best time to take these vitamins as supplements?
I had the Roux-en-y Gastric Bypass and my body don't absorb Vitamin's through food. What am I to do. I am 67yrs, Also I have sleep apnea,
If taking Vit D n E in the morning, will it be effective for sleeping at night ?
Thanks for the useful information.
I'm surprised you guys didn't mention magnesium.
It seems GABA helps as well. What is your opinion ?
Wow, I had no idea B6 helps you remember dreams. Thanks for teaching me this. 😊
God blss u all.
Excellent
I have reversed my sleep apnea by using Vitamin B-1, such a relief than using that C-pap contraption. Thanks
In all of the research I am aware of this has NEVER happened. I do not think this is possible.
Question: how can I be suffering from Sleep Apnea as Doctors suggest (insist) if the real problem is I can't fall asleep in the first place? Thank you to any one including Dr. Breus whi can help.
I was told I had vitamin d definitely a few months ago I had some pills to help me get back on top I still feel very tired. And I can not sleep very well sometimes I can only get 5 hours sleep I am very tired and all day am am getting very bad painful joints to I do eat all the rich foods to I can I start feeling alot better
Thanks a Doctors
The correct types of food for better sleep
Doc can I take those sleep vitamins together at night
This is a superb program
WHAT TIME OF DAY IS BEST TO SWALLOW VITAMINS ?
I have tried all these things nothing else has worked for me am on quetiapine 100 milligram
Doctor, when is the best time to take supplements? I’ve always taken mine by midday. Should they be taken closer to bedtime?
Take b vitamins closer to bed, except for B12. Take b12 when you first wake up. Take vitamin D during or after breakfast or lunch so long as there’s fat in whatever you’re eating. If you don’t naturally eat foods with calcium and plenty of magnesium, take a supplement with the vitamin d. Most important thing with calcium and vitamin d is to take vitamin K2. If you have a supplement with vitamin d, k2, magnesium, and a little calcium, you’re probably doing pretty well. If you take vitamin d too close to bed it can sometimes keep you up.
Those vitamins you mentioned are good for you every thing not only sleep, every body should know
We agree!
Is evening sun as. Effective as morning sun
I have prostate issues that's why I can't sleep can you help me
Question about vitamin D and glass. Not windows but eyeglasses. Do glasses lessen the amount of vitamin I get from the sun?
Nope you should be fine!
Ashwaganda + magnesium
Valerian drops is the best.
You made no mention of how much of each of these recommended vitamins are needed daily? And plz recommend a daily multivitamin formulation.
I would need a lot more information on someone to be able to do that with any levell of accuracy. Here is an article I wrote that goes in depth on all the vitamins: sleepdoctor.com/sleep-aids/best-vitamins-for-sleep/. But if you are looking for dosages, then you will want to look out the "Recommended Daily Allowances (RDA's) of each vitamin, based on your age, gender, and medical issues. Dr. B
Vit D3, magnesium glycinate, apigenin , magnesium L-threonate works like magic ! I’m 65 and I fall asleep fast and even if I wake up to go use the bathroom falling back asleep has not been a problem. For some reason melatonin doesn’t work for me !
I have macular drusen. Of course, I'm not looking at the sun, but my eye doctor has warned me to wear sun glasses whenever I go outside. I notice that even if I just go out to empty the trash my eyes make a very slow adjustment when I re-enter the house. Any ideas for me?
@@liberals_destroy_everythin2497 😄 That would work if that was the only reason I went outside.
B6 can be too activating for some.
Doc can I stop taking Alprozalam then take Melatonin instead. Thx
No, Don't "just" stop taking alprazolam, has to be titrated or you'll likely experience withdrawal. Please be careful.
Whats the best time to take a d3 supplement, morning or night??
Morning
How about Magnesium at bed time. I know it is not a Vitamin.
Chelated Magnesium gave me and my wife perfect sleep for several days . At 65 I had increased 1.5 hr deep and REM.
I take Magnesium Threonate with a couple other supplements and it’s changed my life. Better deeper sleep.
@@rubiccube8953 How much are you taking? Same age as you and desperate to get to sleep better. Thanks.
@@rpaulseymour I’m trying Threonate, 145mg, but confused if all of it needs to be taken at night or when. Bottle says 1/2 at night, 1/2. In the morning.
I started taking Magnesium Glycinate over a month ago and it's a changer. I'm sleeping better, longer and deeper waking up fresher in the morning. I'm 62 and sleeping had always been a problem for many years.
Bitter cherry proven in tests to be very good to improve sleep
Professor Matt Walker excellent for sleep advice
The best oil to use is olive oil, those other oils your mentioned are not healthy oils.
Is it advisable to take melatonin supplement like sleepasil before going to sleep for someone who have difficulty going to sleep at daytime especially if they work on night shift? Thanks a lot in advance.
I use the melatonin to get to sleep during the day before my night shifts
use it, it works.
Noted. Thanks a lot.
Try Magnesium. GABA. Glycine. All in a powder. They are top gun's.
Magnesium Bisglycinate Chelate from Albion is the best and most bioavailable magnesium form. Covers the magnesium and glycine for sleep coupled with PharmaGABA.
So vitamin B+++, C, D and E. Simple enough
please tell me where these vitamins are sold and how effective they are
🎉
@@leonardosantos9879 please explain
....you don't know where vitamins are sold?
items still VARY
Will b vitamins not cause a surge of energy before bed?
If you have that doubt, you can take it with your lunch.
Depends on which Vit B you're taking. Avoid a B complex for sure. I take B5 right before bed and sleep much much better.
I take all these vitamins and still have insomnia.
Me too
Not sure if you’re aware, but most vitamins are either water or fat soluble. You need to take them either with some fat or water for proper absorption. Like vitamin D is fat soluble. B-12 is water soluble but needs to be taken with some food anyway. Better google how to take them to make sure absorption is good. Otherwise is like throwing our money away. I only learned this a couple of years ago.
me too nothing works and it gets worst
Me too i take B12
Vitamin c and vitamin over 50 nothing help I use to take vitamin D and
Vitamin B1 for years nothing help i stop taking it
Same here - exhausted from lack of sleep.
How much vitamin D should a person take for sleep?
I take 10,000 IUs in the evening, helps calm you down
Vitamin D
Vitamin E
Vitamin C
Vitamin B 6 & 12
Can we get Vitamin D from the sun even in the afternoon?
Yes, sunlight from 10 am to 3 pm has the maximum ultraviolet B rays that produce Vit D3 in the exposed skin.
If you live north of the 35th parallel anyway you can almost never get enough vitamin D3. Need at least 4-5,000 iu usually.
Sunlight in the morning is supposed to help set the circadian rhythm.
My doctor says it is not possible to test vitamin b6 in a blood test. This is true? How can i avoid overconsumption?
You can. Ive had it tested. Blood.
Read every supplement ingredient on labels. Dont take it if it had b6. I learned the hard way.
@@briechilli4496 what you mean?
B6 isn’t good for sleep?
@@N5555b i mean b6 is added to too many different supplements. Make sure you dont take too much it is toxic.
Testing any vitamin b with a standard serum blood test is probably going to be inaccurate and could even show falsly high results when the person is actually deficient especially if they take supplemental b's as it just shows what's in your blood and being eliminated not what's being absorbed for actual use. Intracellular micronutrient testing will provide more accurate results.
What about people with ESRD?
Vitamin Z of course.
I can't believe that you guys are recommending seed oils.
Seed oils are fine. Internet hysteria is dangerous.
@@thisscreensucks?? Dangerous how?
Dr. Me not getting sleep due to depression since i got married, my husband always tortoured me bcz he is a Narcissist dangerous person. Me taking sleeping pills but no effect . Please help me if u can . God bless u
Divorce.
Leave him. Run.
Magnesium glycinate anyone?
Mag glyciante really works also with omega 3 and cod liver oil and D3 with K2 as the mag works great with vit D3 and k2😊
Recently, I tried chelated Magnesium glycinate and it's definitely sleep changer. But I'm having more problem with constipation so I switched to Magnesium Citrate which helps with sleeping as well.
@@junacalica4517 pls.would you know me magnesium cytrate how mg. take
Do you all take powder or capsule or tablets
It's the best although citrate can help a lot with constipation.
Sitting on a bed, just in case, only talking about those vitamins will kicks in. You better be prepared.
ZMA
citrulline malate
Fuji water
Lavender flowers
Night hugs
I don’t go out in the sun
I have TOO MUCH vitamin D and need better sleep.
You guys know this as well as I do. But the only good vitamin comes with a prescription. That way, you actually know you're getting what you're thinking you're getting.
Very good advice except for one thing Multivitamins do not work. Never have and never will.
Sorry to hear that
I use benfothiamine to sleep...
An early morning walk may help you set your sleep cycle, but you won't get any vitamin D benefit from it, not even in the tropics. You need to read up on sun angle, latitude and season.
You're crazy. Sun angle might affect intensity. But to say there are no health benefits unless the sun angle is correct is c crazy. If its on your skin. You're good.
We must be so low in vitamin D here in Ireland.
@@bcent5758 Depends on how much oily fish you have in your diet - have a teaspoon of cod liver oil a day and you'll probably do okay. Given that the sun is at a low angle and not up very far in the sky from October to April in Ireland - and you are probably well rugged up when outside - I'd say you won't be getting any from the sun then (no matter what hogwash the Irish Times may print). But hey - ask your doctor for a blood test if you are worried. Age and diet are also important factors.
EVENIF I HAVE ENOUGH SLEEP IN THE NIGHT I FEEL DIFFICULTY WAKING UP. I JUST DONT WANT TO WAKE UP
Turn off the news
Might be a thyroid issue. I was that way before I was diagnosed hypothyroid.

I take melatonin supplements every night
Please listen when you get a chance.😇
I take vitamin Z, 10 mg.
I woke up 5 times to go to bathroom. please help
Stop drinking water (or any liquids) 2-3 hours before bed! We guarantee that should help with waking in the night
Taking electrolyte drink can decrease urination
Is taking melatonin 50 mg bad ? Also taking benadryl 50 regularly bad ?
I take 2.5 to Max 5mg , more than 5mg of melatonin makes me more tired and with headaches
Benadryl can cause arrhythmias it happened to me
50 mg of melatonin sounds like a lot
In CASE you didn't know;
All Antihistamines & Anti-inflammatory & Pain killers with continued uses...will UNDOUBTEDLY create Dementia!!
Do your RESPONSIBLE necessary Investigations/Research...ASK & ASK ....Aaaaand use Your hopefully NORMAL level of Independent/Individual Important & coherent FREQUENTLY QUESTIONS ABOUT EVERYTHING & EVERYONE!!
Good Luck🤔
Are you groggy the next day
If you're wearing clothes, can you still get vitamin D?
On your face and hands if you donot wear sun screen -- but you will want to wear sunscreen for the majority of the day.
@@catherinevial9508 thanks
If you are wearing clothes, only about 17% of your skin is exposed. So, to get full benefit you need to stay in the sun for longer time. Wearing sunscreen prevents Vitamin D3 production in the skin.
I read somewhere that if you wearing clothes with sleeves you only get about 10 percent of vitamin d so wear sleeveless clothes and shorts no socks

You think a GP knows about vitamins?
I pray that peace reigns in your life. Only Jesus can secure your future and only He holds your tomorrow's in His hands. He will never give up on you. He loves you so much. 🙏 🙏
There are no such things as Gods. Most religions are a money making scheme. Please wake up , there is no such thing as magic. Science bless you.
You took a wrong turn somewhere. This is a presentation about sleep supplements, not religion.
I know of a man who can breathe life into the dead. He can make the lame stand and walk. He can open the eyes of the blind. He can open your blind eyes and raise you up to life everlasting. 🙏 🙏
We're talking about vitamins lady.
I know a man who can pull rabbits out of a hat .
Remember Jesus Christ loves you unconditionally. Nobody loves you as much as Jesus does. The cross proves it. It's not too late as long as you are still breathing to get right with God. 🙏 🙏
