Eicosapentaenoic acid shows limited benefits
We explored the effectiveness of eicosapentaenoic acid, a type of omega-3 fatty acid, on insomnia among junior hospital nurses in a well-structured trial. In this study, 80 nurses were randomly assigned to receive either 1200 mg of eicosapentaenoic acid along with 600 mg of docosahexaenoic acid daily or a placebo for 13 weeks.

Our main focus was to see how these supplements influenced insomnia and overall mental health. While we noted some improvements in various measures, including insomnia severity at the 13-week mark, the results didn't demonstrate a significant advantage when compared to the placebo group.

After analyzing data at multiple checkpoints—13, 26, and 52 weeks—we found that the effects of eicosapentaenoic acid on insomnia were not strong enough to conclude it as a beneficial treatment. Overall, while there were some positive indicators at certain times, the overall impact on insomnia was not substantial, leaving us to conclude that more research is needed to confirm any real benefits from omega-3 fatty acids for sleep disturbances.

Docosahexaenoic acid effects on sleep
We explored the relationship between plasma metabolites, including docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and sleep quality using data from a large cohort study. Our investigation focused on participants' experiences with sleep issues such as difficulty falling asleep and snoring.

Through a meticulous analysis, we found that higher levels of DHA, alongside certain cholesterol types, were linked to lower odds of snoring. However, we didn't uncover a direct connection between DHA and improvements in insomnia, specifically when it came to falling asleep or waking up during the night.

This suggests that while DHA may play a role in sleep quality related to snoring, its impact on insomnia isn't clearly established. Our findings indicate that more nuanced studies would be beneficial in determining the precise effects of DHA on sleep disturbances.

Improves sleep quality
Omega-3 fatty acids improve sleep quality by regulating serotonin and melatonin levels, aiding in circadian rhythm normalisation. This leads to better sleep, reduced insomnia, and an overall enhancement of well-being.

Increases energy levels
I took this fish oil with lemon flavour and a good dosage. It initially invigorated me, but I experienced insomnia at first until my body adjusted. The only downside is that the capsules are large and hard to swallow!
