Go to StoreTrueZs – L-Theanine and Ashwagandha Sleep Supplement
For many of us, a good night’s sleep is sometimes hard to get. Even those who can get the desired seven to eight hours of sleep at night, often don’t wake up feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the day.
Sleep science advances tell us it is not just the quantity of sleep that is important – you also have to consider the quality of sleep you’re getting.
Many factors can aid or hinder a good night’s sleep. These include environmental factors such as temperature, lighting, background noise and comfort level.
But equally, if not more, important, are personal factors like stress, anxiety, diet, alcohol consumption, smoking habits, and other influences.
These factors affect how we feel before and during sleep. To assess your sleep quality, you can ask yourself questions such as…
How relaxed am I just before bedtime?
When I wake up at night can I fall quickly back to sleep?
How deep or shallow is my sleep?
When I wake up, am I sufficiently refreshed?

Suntheanine L-theanine – Helps the brain “Relax”
In today’s world, a significant portion of us experience some form of stress in our daily lives.
Since ancient times, drinking green tea has been used to promote relaxation. Modern science attributes the relaxation effect of green tea to the presence of the amino acid L-theanine.
Suntheanine L-theanine is an award-winning, patented, and scientifically studied ingredient from Taiyo International in Japan. Almost of all of the original published scientific studies, clinical trials, and safety/toxicity studies conducted on L-theanine specifically used the Suntheanine brand.
Suntheanine can help you relax and get a better night’s sleep. It can cross the blood-brain barrier and help to increase dopamine and GABA levels in the brain.
This can increase alpha brain waves, which are associated with a relaxed mental state, and decreases beta-waves and theta-waves. Alpha waves are also present during REM sleep, which can promote learning and creates dreams.
These changes in the mental state can help reduce sleep latency (time it takes to go from awake to asleep) and sleep disturbance, and promote better quality of sleep –without daytime drowsiness.
Suntheanine acts quickly, and its effects on relaxation can be felt within 30-45 minutes.
