May Improve Sleep Quality

Many people have difficulty getting or staying asleep, making it difficult to get a decent night's sleep. While there are various strategies to enhance your sleep quality, such as limiting caffeinated beverages late in the day and avoiding bright displays a few hours before night, glycine may also be beneficial. This amino acid has a soothing impact on the brain and may aid in falling and staying asleep by reducing core body temperature.

Taking 3 grams of glycine before bed reduces the time it takes to fall asleep, improves sleep quality, reduces daytime drowsiness, and improves cognition in persons with sleep problems. As a result, glycine may be an excellent alternative to prescription sleeping medications for increasing sleep quality at night and daytime weariness.
