Sleep Quality

With its brain-boosting effects, aniracetam may also be beneficial in improving sleep pattern and quality. The following studies support the benefits of aniracetam in various sleeping difficulties:
1. In patients with insomnia, aniracetam supplementation induces a hypnotic effect and is associated with longer sleep duration and deep sleep. [36]
2. In patients with insomnia related to cerebrovascular and noncerebrovascular disorders, aniracetam administration is associated with more than 50% prolongation of sleeping time. [37]
3. In stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats with impaired sleeping patterns, oral doses of aniracetam at 30 mg/kg per day increased rapid eye movement (REM), one of the deepest phases of sleep. [38]
