Myo-inositol

Taken before bed, often for getting back to sleep after waking

Around 900mg of a sugar alcohol in the evening, added to sleep stacks mainly by people whose problem is waking at 3am rather than falling asleep. It also has a separate literature in PCOS and anxiety at much higher doses. Evidence for the sleep use specifically is limited and largely anecdotal.
