  1. 01
    MelatoninModerate
    92% match

    A fixed nightly dose at a consistent clock time provides a recurring chronobiotic signal that can entrain a free-running rhythm to a stable 24-hour cycle.

    SuggestedLow-dose (0.5 mg) immediate-release at the same target bedtime every night
  2. 02
    Vitamin D3Limited
    45% match

    Supports general circadian and seasonal rhythm regulation that may otherwise be impaired alongside an unstable sleep-wake cycle.

    Suggested1000 to 2000 IU daily, guided by a 25-OH-D level
  3. 03
    42% match

    Calms the nervous system and supports sleep quality during the windows when sleep is attempted at the targeted entrained time.

    Suggested200 to 400 mg elemental magnesium in the evening
  4. 04
    L-TheanineModerate
    38% match

    Eases pre-sleep arousal so the person can sleep during the deliberately fixed nightly window rather than drifting later.

    Suggested100 to 200 mg before the target bedtime
  5. 05
    30% match

    May modestly influence circadian light sensitivity and has been explored as an adjunct in non-24-hour rhythm cases.

    SuggestedMethylcobalamin 500 to 1000 mcg in the morning
