What supplements help with sleep?
Several nutrients and botanicals can support healthy sleep patterns, including (and not limited to):
- GABA: This amino acid is an inhibitory neurotransmitter that can decrease limbic firing to support reduced feelings of anxiety.
- L-theanine: This amino acid has been linked to increased alpha wave production in the brain, supporting relaxation and stress reduction.
- 5-HTP: This amino acid derivative can influence the body’s natural production of serotonin and melatonin, supporting healthy sleep and sleep-wake cycles.
- Botanicals (e.g., valerian, skullcap, passionflower, hops, jujube, yuan zhi): Traditionally used to promote calm and reduce restlessness, botanicals can act on GABAergic or relaxation pathways, working to settle the nervous system before bed.
- Melatonin: This circadian-rhythm hormone can help signal “nighttime” to the body and, in turn, support sleep onset and more consistent sleep timing.
- Magnesium: This essential mineral can support nervous-system function and muscle relaxation, contributing to reduced nighttime restlessness.
Combining these sleep supplements, Sleep Easy™ offers a high-quality blend of complementary sleep-support ingredients, designed to promote mental calmness and a more restful sleep experience.
Which magnesium supplement is best for sleep?
Bioavailable, gentle forms of magnesium, such as magnesium glycinate or threonate, are generally easier for the body to absorb and less likely to cause digestive discomfort. That can make these types of magnesium better suited for:
- Evening use
- Nervous-system support
- Sleep and relaxation.
Sleep Easy™ provides easy-to-absorb magnesium designed for evening use, pairing it with sleep-support ingredients formulated to calm the mind, ease tension, and support a more natural transition into restful sleep.
Do GABA supplements help with sleep?
GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) is the brain’s primary inhibitory neurotransmitter, helping to regulate overactive brain activity and promote a sense of calm.
Research suggests that GABA supplements may settle the nervous system down before bedtime, supporting relaxation and improved sleep quality.
Sleep Easy™ is formulated with GABA and other sleep supplements to calm the mind and nervous system and promote healthier, more restful sleep.
Are sleep supplements safe?
It depends on the product, its ingredients, usage, and other factors.
Generally, sleep supplements are safe when they are:
- Made with well-studied nutrients and botanicals at appropriate, evidence-informed levels
- Manufactured under strict quality standards (such as GMP-certified facilities) that ensure purity, potency, and consistency
- Used as directed and possibly reviewed with a healthcare professional for those taking certain medications or living with underlying conditions.
Sleep Easy™ aligns with these principles by combining well-known sleep-support ingredients in a balanced formula while providing clear, responsible usage guidance.
Are sleep supplements worth it?
Good sleep night after night can be priceless. That can mean finding the right sleep supplement is 100% worth it for those struggling to fall asleep, stay asleep, or get deep sleep.
To find a sleep supplement that’s “worth it”:
- Look for ingredient transparency: Every component should be clearly listed on product labels or packaging.
- Prioritize quality manufacturing: Products made in GMP-certified facilities can help ensure consistency and safety.
- Seek research-backed ingredients: Amino acids, botanicals, melatonin, and magnesium are among the most studied for sleep support.
- Pay attention to how your body responds: Track your sleep quality and consider adjustments if you’re not getting the results you need
- Avoid “miracle” claims: Sleep supplements should support healthy sleep patterns, not promise instant results or make guarantees.
Sleep Easy™ meets these criteria with a high-quality blend of amino acids, botanicals, melatonin, and gentle magnesium, crafted to support relaxation, calm the mind, and encourage a more natural, restful sleep experience.
How does Sleep Easy™ work as a sleep supplement?
Sleep Easy™ combines the highest quality ingredients—including amino acids (e.g., L-theanine, L-tryptophan, 5-HTP, GABA), botanicals (valerian, skullcap, passionflower, hops, jujube & yuan zhi), melatonin, and magnesium—to support:
- Healthy hormonal and neurotransmitter function,
- Nervous system relaxation
- Mental calmness
Together, this can contribute to more restful, rejuvenating sleep.
How much melatonin is in Sleep Easy™?
Sleep Easy™ contains 300 mcg (or 0.3 mg) of Melatonin.
Please note that the melatonin in Sleep Easy™is one part of a 495-mg proprietary blend that includes GABA, valerian (V. sitchensis), L-tryptophan, L-theanine, 5-HTP, and other botanicals.
When is a good time to take Sleep Easy™?
For best results, take 1 to 2 capsules of Sleep Easy™ about 30 to 60 minutes before bedtime (or as directed by your healthcare professional).
Avoid taking Sleep Easy™ after waking up in the middle of the night (as a way to get back to sleep), as this could cause a touch of morning drowsiness.

I highly recommend
I can feel the calming affects after only taking for a short period of time. Going to give some of the other products from this manufacturer a try.

Company stood behind the product.
This didn’t work for me but that doesn’t mean it will not work for you. The company found out I was not happy and refunded my money and I didn’t ask them to. I would not hesitate to try another product from this company.

Quality products
I have ordered from mountain peak nutritionals before, and I am always very happy with their products! This tranquility supplement does not disappoint! It arrived quickly and well package. The capsules are standard size capsules, and easy to swallow. There is no discernible tea store odor. They don’t bother my skin or my stomach so I’m very happy with it so far!

Great Ingredient Profile
I’m not sure whether it’s been due to placebo effect or not, but I’ve felt a general sense of well-being while taking this supplement. I don’t think I’ve noticed any improvement in sleep quality, but others may. The ingredients are kind of a who’s who for calming and mood support supplements: GABA, Ashwagandha, L-Theanine, and 5-HTP. I’m not familiar with the claimed effects of the other listed ingredients, but the ones I am familiar with do give me some confidence that the others have legitimate purpose, as well. The proprietary blend isn’t the best, if only for the fact that you don’t get clear indication of how much of each ingredient is contained within. To some extent, though, exact quantities of the parts are less important than the overall function of the whole. You’ve also got methylated B12, maybe an insignificant amount of Magnesium (?), and Bioperine which serves to aid in the absorption of it all. It’s a good formula, from what I can tell. It can also be an enormous supply for the price, if you find you can receive positive benefit from just one capsule a day.

Tranquility, Ahhh!
I take these to help me relax and get a good night’s sleep. I like the natural ingredients and am familiar with many – GABA, taurine, ashwagandha, magnolia, rhodiola rosea, 5-HTP, L-theanine, and black pepper. You also get V-B6 and B12, folinic acid, and magnesium.They say the suggested serving is 2 caps, but I take a number of other supplements as well, about half-an-hour before bedtime, with a glass of water, so I take one-a-day.You get 90 caps for your (nearly) $49, or 54-cents apiece.

Great formula
This supplement helps me to relax, to be more calm. However I can’t say that it helps me with my sleep. I shared some with my mom and it worked for her too. She can fall asleep easier when she takes it at night. Overall, it’s a great supplement.
