Fazit
Vitamin B6 may play a role in supporting sleep through its involvement in melatonin production, but the direct evidence for insomnia is limited and preliminary.
- Only 5 studies with 50 total participants — evidence is preliminary
- B6 is involved in producing serotonin and melatonin, both important for sleep
- Genetic studies (Mendelian randomization) suggest a link between B6 and sleep behaviors
- More clinical trials with larger sample sizes are needed
