Ten subjects with insomnia will drink 2 ounces of the supplement or a placebo for 1 week and after a 2 weeks washout period, will take the treatment they did not take the first week. Questionnaires to evaluate quality of life, a finger oximeter and a sleep study will be done before and after each treatment week.
