Detailed description
This is a single-blinded observational randomized-control trial to study the efficacy of a dietary supplement and its effect on sleep quality, recovery, and workout performance. It is hypothesized that the dietary supplement Peak Sleep will improve sleep quality - as defined as deep sleep, REM sleep, and feeling more rested the next day, as well as promoting the performance in workouts of trial participants. A total of 72 participants will be recruited for the trial following the screening. The trial will be fully remote, a technology platform will be utilized to screen, enroll and capture study data of the participants, and participants will either receive the Peak Sleep product or receive a placebo - depending on the study group they got randomized in - for eight weeks.
