Low GABA Levels. One of the main causes of sleep maintenance insomnia results from low levels of the brain chemical (neurotransmitter) called GABA. GABA is your main relaxing and tranquillising brain chemical.
GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter that slows down the activities of the neurons, in order to prevent them from getting over excited. When neurons get over excited, it can lead to anxiety. GABA can thus help prevent anxiety. GABA is a non-essential amino acid, that is produced by the body from glutamate.
