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 an inhibitory neurotransmitter that is essential for the proper functioning of the brain and central nervous system. GABA reduces excessive brain activity and promotes a state of calm. Stress, poor diet and many medications over-stimulate the brain, causing anxiety and insomnia.
