| Glycine | Sleep quality / temperature routine interest | Medical symptoms are present |
| ZMA | Nutrient context for some men | Random stacking without deficiency reason |
| Melatonin | Specific short-term circadian use, where legal/appropriate | Chronic unexplained sleep problems without advice |

FAQ
What are the best sleep supplements for men over 40?
The best option depends on the sleep pattern. Magnesium, L-theanine, glycine or no supplement at all may be right depending on whether the issue is tension, mental arousal, routine, alcohol or a medical sleep problem.
Should sleep apnoea be treated with supplements?
No. Sleep apnoea signs need a GP or sleep-service route.
Should I stack sleep supplements?
Usually not at first. Change one thing at a time and avoid masking red flags.
