What is the best magnesium supplement for sleep?
Magnesium L-Threonate (Magtein) and Magnesium Glycinate are the most studied forms for sleep. Magtein is preferred when cognitive support is also a goal, since it crosses the blood-brain barrier more efficiently. Magnesium Glycinate is well-absorbed and gentle on the stomach, making it a solid choice for sleep and relaxation alone. Magnesium Taurate is another option with cardiovascular benefits alongside sleep support.
Is L-Theanine safe to take every night?
L-Theanine is a non-sedating amino acid found naturally in green tea. It is generally considered well-tolerated for regular use and does not cause dependency or grogginess the following morning. Most users take 100-200mg before bed. It can also be taken during the day to support a calm, focused state without drowsiness.
What sleep supplement pairing does Double Wood recommend?
A commonly used Double Wood sleep pairing combines Magnesium Glycinate, L-Theanine, and Glycine. Magnesium supports sleep duration and muscle relaxation, L-Theanine promotes a calm mental state, and Glycine is an inhibitory amino acid linked to lower core body temperature at sleep onset — a key trigger for deeper sleep.
