Low GABA Levels. One of the main causes of sleep maintenance insomnia results from low levels of the brain chemical (neurotransmitter) called GABA. GABA is your main relaxing and tranquillising brain chemical.
GABA is the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain, meaning that it prevents our neurons from over-firing and being over-stimulated. Supplementing GABA may help with stress, anxiety, relaxation, muscle tension, convulsions, insomnia, and epilepsy. Many herbs could increase GABA, and almost all of them are relatively safe. Also, you can find GABA supplements that are (or contain) synthetic GABA agonists, which could cause dependence. These supplements are purchased by many uninformed consumers.
