Andrew Huberman has talked at length on the Huberman Lab podcast about the supplements he uses to fall asleep faster and stay asleep. His approach is deliberately minimal and additive: start with one (or none), and only layer in more if you need to. Below is the sleep stack as described in his publicly published Toolkit for Sleep, mapped to the research in our library so you can see the evidence behind each one โ€” and add the stack to your own tracker in a tap.
