Has anyone else heard of or tried this? A psychiatrist, Abram Hoffer, treated patients by assessing deficiencies then treating those with nutrition first and supplements when necessary along with conventional medicine. Often niacin is used because it is a common deficiency due to our average diets on refined and processed foods. Not saying niacin helps anyone sleep better or at all, but he explains how it can lead to being able to cope with stress better which might lead to improved rest and sleep.
Pauline Harding's website has an interesting article about how eating at the right time can help us sleep better because eating at the wrong time interferes with our biological clock and circadian rhythm. Also, the National Institute of General Medicine Sciences offers this fact sheet: http://www.nigms.nih.gov/Education/F...ianRhythms.htm Maybe something here will help someone.

That's pretty sound logic, actually. Generally our sleep patterns and in turn our dreams, will be altered by the deficiencies in our vitamin/mineral intake. Healthier bodies leads to healthier sleep.
