A new study reveals that a common dietary supplement, often marketed as a natural remedy for sleep disorders, may actually disrupt sleep patterns rather than improve them. Researchers found that prolonged use of the supplement led to increased nighttime wakefulness and reduced overall sleep quality in participants. The findings challenge long-held assumptions about its effectiveness and suggest potential risks for those relying on it as an alternative to prescription treatments. Experts caution that more rigorous testing is needed before definitive conclusions can be drawn.
