Dr. Peter Attia says a good sleep is essential for longevity and that he takes three supplements to support his sleep each night. He also tries to get a hot sauna right before bed at least four nights a week (or a warm bath or hot shower may do the trick). He also avoids alcohol and tries not to eat within three hours of going to bed. Attia is the author of the 2023 New York Times bestseller, “Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity.” Dr. Attia has said that his routine is to be as unstimulated as possible before bedtime, and getting as much restful, restorative, deep sleep as possible. The supplements he takes to support his sleep are: ashwagandha, a traditional Ayurvedic medicine that is a traditional sleep aid in India. (Ashwagandha may interact poorly with certain medications, so consult with an expert before adding it to your regimen). Dr. Attia also takes a cholesterol-lowering supplement that may be good for muscle recovery… He takes lysine, which is an essential amino acid. Attia also uses a special kind of magnesium, L-threonate. “Just make sure it has Magein in it,” advises Dr. Attia. To read the full article, visit 3 Nighttime Supplements
