The Science Behind Deep Rest
At Omni Wave, we believe deep, restorative sleep is essential for mental clarity, physical recovery, and emotional well-being. Our advanced Deep Rest formula is inspired by world-renowned neuroscientist Andrew Huberman’s favourite sleep stack and combines 8 natural research-backed ingredients that support your body’s natural ability to unwind, fall asleep smoothly, and wake up refreshed—without grogginess.
Here’s what’s inside and why it works:
Magnesium L-Threonate (350mg)
A highly bioavailable form of magnesium known for its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier. It supports relaxation, promotes deep sleep quality, and contributes to overall cognitive health.
Key Studies:
📑A study published in Neuron found that Magnesium L-Threonate improved learning abilities, working memory, and sleep-regulating brain signaling.
📑Research in The Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease showed enhanced memory performance in older adults after supplementation.
L-Theanine (200 mg)
A naturally occurring amino acid found in green tea, L-Theanine promotes calm without sedation. It helps reduce mental tension, support alpha brainwaves, and enhance sleep quality when combined with other calming ingredients.
Key Studies:
📑A study in Nutrients found that L-Theanine improved sleep efficiency and reduced time to fall asleep.
📑Biological Psychology research showed it increased alpha brainwave activity linked to relaxation.
Valerian Root (350mg)
Used for centuries as a natural sleep aid, valerian root helps reduce sleep latency and supports restful sleep. It works by increasing GABA availability in the brain, a neurotransmitter that calms the nervous system.
Key Studies:
📑A meta-analysis in American Journal of Medicine found valerian improves sleep quality without next-day grogginess.
📑Phytomedicine showed it reduced the time to fall asleep and improved sleep depth.
Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis) (150mg)
Lemon Balm is a calming herb traditionally used to ease tension, reduce restlessness, and promote more restful sleep. It works by interacting with GABA receptors in the brain and supporting a relaxed nervous system.
Key Studies:
📑A study published in Mediterranean Journal of Nutrition and Metabolism found that Lemon Balm significantly improved sleep quality and reduced symptoms of mild insomnia.
📑Research in Phytomedicine showed that daily supplementation with Lemon Balm helped reduce anxiety-related sleep disturbances and supported deeper sleep.
5-HTP from Griffonia Seeds (150mg)
A direct precursor to serotonin, which converts into melatonin — the hormone responsible for sleep cycles. 5-HTP can help regulate mood and support deeper, uninterrupted sleep.
Key Studies:
📑A study in Sleep Research Online found that 5-HTP increased REM sleep duration.
📑Research in Neuropsychobiology showed that it improves both sleep onset and quality in individuals with mild insomnia.
Magnolia Bark (150mg)
Known for its calming properties, magnolia bark has been used in traditional medicine to reduce anxiety and promote sleep. It works by modulating GABA receptors and reducing cortisol levels.
Key Studies:
📑A study in Phytotherapy Research showed magnolia bark reduced cortisol and improved sleep quality.
📑Journal of Ethnopharmacology demonstrated its effectiveness in enhancing sleep and reducing restlessness.
Vitamin B6 (50mg)
The active form of vitamin B6 that plays a key role in neurotransmitter synthesis, including serotonin and GABA. B6 supports sleep regulation, mood balance, and cognitive recovery during rest.
Key Studies:
📑Research in Perceptual and Motor Skills showed B6 improved dream recall and sleep quality.
📑A study in Nutrients linked B6 with improved sleep efficiency and reduced wakefulness.
Apigenin (50mg)
A flavonoid found in chamomile, apigenin binds to benzodiazepine receptors in the brain, promoting calm and initiating sleep. It's known for its gentle sedative effects without dependency risk.
Key Studies:
📑A study in Neuropharmacology found that apigenin exerted anxiolytic and sedative effects in mice.
📑Journal of Natural Products linked apigenin to enhanced sleep onset and duration in animal models.
