ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE This invention discloses a method for accelerating sleep onset and improving sleep quality which comprises the administration to a patient of tryptophan and an insulin- releasing carbohydrate either alone or in combination with tyrosine. The invention also describes a new combination product consisting essentially of tryptophan and a carbo- hydrate for accelerating onset of sleep. The amount of tryptophan is sufficient to increase serotonin levels and the amount of carbohydrate is effective to cause release of insulin. Tyrosine may also be used in the combination in an amount effective to maintain or increase brain dopamine, norepinephrine levels. This method and combination product does not produce the unwanted side effects of the prior art and they do not interfere with important aspects of sleep as do some prior art preparations.
