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 the supplement’s active ingredient interacts with brain receptors in ways that can prolong wakefulness and reduce overall sleep quality. The findings challenge long-held assumptions about its effectiveness and suggest potential risks for those using it to treat insomnia. Experts warn that further investigation is needed before consumers make decisions based on anecdotal claims.
