The Harsh Truth About Sleep Supplements

When sleep starts falling apart, most people look for a shortcut. A pill. A supplement. Something that will knock them out and make the problem go away. But in this episode, we explain why that probably won't work. Matter of fact, it'll probably make your sleep worse!

This is part two of our sleep series, building on our conversation with Dr. Sigrid Veasey, one of the country’s leading sleep researchers. Sam and Heather dig into what Dr. Veasey explained about sleep medications and supplements — from melatonin and magnesium to prescription sleep aids — and why so many of them change how we perceive sleep without actually improving it.
