Take Supplements
In addition to having good sleep hygiene, you may take certain supplements to get more REM sleep and improve the quality of sleep. Common supplements that can help with sleep may include valerian root, melatonin, chamomile, magnesium, glycine, tryptophan, ginkgo biloba, as well as L-theanine. In most cases, you can easily purchase these products over the counter without a doctor’s prescription. Although they are considered all-natural, it does not necessarily mean that these supplements are safe to use for everyone. Make sure to consult your doctor before deciding to take any supplements and avoid possible interactions with other drugs or medications. [6]
