About this trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of the Botanical Extract in improving sleep symptoms of nonrestorative sleep (NRS) in healthy adults. The main question it aims to answer is
• Does the Botanical Extract improve sleep quality and reduce symptoms of nonrestorative sleep (NRS)? Researchers will compare the Botanical Extract to a placebo to see if it works.
Participants will:
* Take one of 3 doses of the Botanical Extract (125 mg/day, 250mg/day ,500mg/day) or a placebo every day for 8 weeks. * Visit the clinic four times for checkups and tests and receive three follow-up phone calls.

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Sleep restorative quality
To evaluate the impact of 8 weeks daily supplementation of the Botanical Extract on Non-Restorative Sleep (NRS) as assessed by Restorative Sleep Questionnaire (RSQ-W) score compared to placebo. The total score range from 0-100 with higher scores indicating better restorative sleep.
Secondary outcomes
Sleep Quality
To evaluate the impact of 8 weeks daily supplementation with the Botanical Extract compared to placebo on Sleep quality as assessed by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Questionnaire (PSQI). The total score range from 0 to 21 with the higher score indicating worse sleep quality.
Attention-Rapid Visual Information Processing (RVIP)
To evaluate the impact of 8 weeks of daily supplementation with the Botanical Extract compared to a placebo on attention using the Millisecond Rapid Visual Information Processing (RVIP) task. The following metrics will be collected and evaluated: latency (speed of response) probability of false alarms, and sensitivity
Attention-Sustained Attention to Response Task (SART).
To evaluate the impact of 8 weeks of daily supplementation with the Botanical Extract compared to a placebo on attention as assessed by the Millisecond Sustained Attention to Response Task (SART). The following metrics will be collected and evaluated: errors of commission, errors of omission, and reaction time.
Cognition
To evaluate the impact of 8 weeks daily supplementation with the Botanical Extract compared to placebo on cognition as assessed by Cognitive Function: PROMIS - Abilities-Short Form 8a. The form consists of 8 items, each rated on a 5-point scale from "Never" to "Very often" with higher scores indicating better cognitive function
