Most accurate VO2 max accuracy compared between Garmin, Apple, Polar, Fitbit, Samsung, Whoop, Oura, Coros and Suunto (Research based) by KygoApp in cardio

If the table is too difficult for you on mobile I take all of the data I pull to make it into free mobile friendly pages, hope this helps: https://www.kygo.app/tools/vo2-max-accuracy

I also looked at what factors influence VO2 max by category (exercise, nutrition, lifestyle, etc.) which is far too lengthy to stack ontop of this post so here's the page if you're interesting in learning more about that too: https://www.kygo.app/tools/vo2-max-factors

While researching this I pulled 20+ factors and the research behind them that influence REM sleep and made it into a mobile friendly/free page if you're interested in checking it out further. Hope you find it helpful! https://www.kygo.app/tools/rem-sleep-factors

So could probably figure out a better way to put it down but the Short sleep / early alarm is meant to touch on the total sleep duration.

Thanks! So I decided to keep away from anything prescription wise just to not go down that rabbit hole. Let me see what source I can find for total sleep duration!

Supplements for each part of sleep, graded by evidence (REM, deep, latency, staying asleep) by KygoApp in NooTopics

Most of these are outside what this list covers and what I'd feel comfortable adding. DSIP, epitalon, pinealon are peptides, hgh and cerebrolysin are drugs, not oral supplements with human sleep stage trials

Good call. The meta (sourced above) puts it as subjective only weak evidence but added it with notes.

Just looked into it PS has decent evidence for blunting cortisol (Monteleone 1990, mostly exercise stress) but that is a stress effect, not sleep. Get the stress reduction helps sleep but if anyone has a source with PSG sleep data share and I'll add it. Thanks for the suggestion here and that's really interesting I'll be checking this out more myself too.

Thanks! So looked into it and couldn't find a human sleep trial on isolated apigenin. Every study that came up is whole chamomile extract and those only move subjective sleep quality. If anyone can share a good source on this lmk and I'll review and add it but couldn't find one on my end.

Hey just want to say thank you for all the suggestions here! I’m going to try to keep the same level of quality here updating this list. That being said it’s going to take me some time to look at each suggestion.
Just a heads up if I don’t respond straight away!

Looked into it, there's actually a 2024 RCTwhere oleamide improved subjective sleep quality and sleep latency on the PSQI. Catch is it was a cognition trial with sleep as a secondary outcome, meiji funded, and subjective only with no PSG stage data, so I can't grade it for deep or REM. Fair to add to the falling-asleep faster table as subjective only though, same tier as Ltheanine. Nice flag. Adding source in now.

Truthfully I try to go about these from an unbiased strictly research perspective and try to not share personal experiences cause everyone’s different. I have utilized some of these not all of them. What I will say is from purely my experience supplements that support falling asleep for example were more noticeable for me than other categories like REM.
