5 Sleep Deeper Supplements That WORK!

Does your sleep suck? Let’s fix that tonight with 5 of the BEST proven supplements to PROMISE you a much deeper sleep.

Why Sleep Actually Matters (Hint: It’s Not Just About Feeling Rested)

Sleep isn’t just about not feeling like crap the next day.It’s about hormone balance, recovery, and yeah — sky-high testosterone, which means rock-hard erections.

So that shot of whisky or joint you’re puffin’ on every night to knock yourself out?

Lame AF.

Instead, here are the battle-tested sleep supplements I use myself and have my No More Dad Bod clients all over the world crushing with every night.

1. ZMA – The OG Sleep Pill

I’ve been using ZMA for at least 20 years, and it still works.

• Magnesium relaxes muscles and calms the nervous system.

• Zinc boosts testosterone and supports your immune system.

• B6 helps magnesium do its job and keeps neurotransmitters balanced.

Take it about 30 minutes before bed on an empty stomach.This triple threat? Don’t sleep on it.

2. Glycine – Cheap, Simple, Effective

A simple amino acid that’s cheap as fuck, but powerful.

• Lowers your core body temp (a signal your body needs to fall asleep).

• Improves sleep quality and next-day brainpower.

How to use: Dissolve 3 grams in water about an hour before bed.

3. L-Theanine (or GABA) – Chill Your Brain Out

L-theanine has been used by monks in China and Japan for centuries. It boosts alpha brain waves, helps you relax without knocking you out, and crushes stress and anxiety.

But here’s my take: I actually prefer GABA, the brain’s natural chill-out chemical.

• Pharma-GABA is the gold standard.

• Think of it as your brain’s brake pedal when thoughts are racing.

Stack L-theanine + GABA + ZMA and good luck staying awake. You’ll be out cold.

4. Ashwagandha – The Stress Killer

Known as Indian Ginseng, this adaptogen has been around for 3000+ years.

• Lowers cortisol (the stress hormone that ruins your sleep).

• Boosts testosterone and improves mood.

Go with the KSM-66 extract (the one used in research studies).Dose: 300–500 mg daily, but take it earlier in the evening — not right before bed.

5. Tart Cherry Extract – Nature’s Recovery Drink

Tart cherries naturally contain melatonin, plus they’re packed with antioxidants that:

• Improve sleep quality.

• Reduce inflammation.

• Boost muscle recovery (which is why brands like Vega are putting it in their recovery blends).

Take a small glass of juice or a couple capsules a couple hours before bed, especially if you’re training hard.

The Truth About Melatonin

Here’s the deal: melatonin works… short-term.But if you use it nightly, your body might downregulate its own production.(That’s NOT good.)

So instead of relying on melatonin every night, focus on sleep architecture:

• Dim screens an hour before bed.

• Get natural sunlight first thing in the morning.

• Use blue-blocking glasses.

• And my favorite hack: the i-Radient Bedtime Bulb 2 from Restful Lighting. Hands down the BEST light for sleep I’ve ever used — low blue/green light and even near-infrared. Absolute game changer.

There you go — 5 epic supplements to help you sleep deeper, recover better, and skyrocket your testosterone and libido.

Ditch the booze and weed “sleep aids” and start building real, restorative sleep like a man over 40 should.
