We observed two adolescents struggling with severe sleep-wake schedule disorders respond positively to high doses of vitamin B12, specifically methylcobalamin. The 15-year-old girl with delayed sleep phase syndrome and the 17-year-old boy with hypernychthemeral syndrome showed immediate improvements after receiving 3,000 micrograms per day.
Notably, there was no evidence of vitamin B12 deficiency in either case, as their levels remained in the normal range. The girl's sleep duration reduced from 10 hours to 7 hours, while the onset of her sleep moved from 2 a.m. to midnight. The boy's sleep-wake cycle also adjusted slightly, indicating potential benefits of methylcobalamin for these disorders.

We examined a unique case of a 58-year-old woman with recurrent endometrial cancer who showed signs of severe depression and attempted suicide. Initially, her symptoms were believed to be linked to major depressive disorder.
However, after administering intravenous thiamine due to her dietary deficiencies, we noticed remarkable changes. Her insomnia, palpitations, and other concerning symptoms improved dramatically within just an hour, and her suicidal thoughts completely vanished.
This case underlines the importance of recognizing thiamine deficiency as a potential reversible cause of psychiatric symptoms, rather than simply attributing them to depression alone.

Vitamin B12 aids specific sleep disorders
We looked into the effects of Vitamin B12 on two patients with long-standing sleep-wake rhythm disorders.
The first patient, a 15-year-old blind girl with a free-running sleep-wake cycle, saw her rhythm align with the environmental 24-hour cycle shortly after starting a daily dose of 1.5 mg of B12. Unfortunately, her sleep issues returned after stopping the B12 treatment.
The second patient, a 55-year-old man with delayed sleep phase syndrome, experienced improvement for over six months while on the same dosage.
While results were promising for these individuals, further research is necessary to better understand the broader effectiveness of Vitamin B12 for insomnia.

In a 4-week open-label study involving 40 individuals with mild-to-moderate insomnia, we explored the effects of a combination formula containing melatonin and vitamin B6.
Participants reported significant improvements in sleep quality, with average scores rising from 5.4 to 7.3 after two weeks.
Our findings also indicated enhancements in sleep onset latency and total sleep duration, all without serious side effects.
Overall, this combination treatment shows promise for those struggling with insomnia.

We evaluated the effectiveness of a nutritional supplement, SPINOFF, on sleep quality and mental health in a pilot study involving 41 participants. Initially, participants reported significant sleep issues and psychological distress.
After a 30-day treatment period, we observed significant reductions in both insomnia symptoms and sleep disturbances, with improved scores indicating better sleep quality and reduced psychological distress. For those who continued treatment, enhancements were even more pronounced.
Overall, our findings suggest that the SPINOFF supplement could be beneficial in tackling sleep difficulties and mental wellness.
