Animal studies and traditional uses of hops include insomnia, sedation, and alcoholic beverage production. Hops may have sedative and sleep-enhancing (hypnotic) effects. However, little human research has evaluated the effects of hops on sleep quality. Further study is needed in this area. Hops may cause drowsiness, so caution is used when operating an automobile or heavy machinery. Hops supplements are not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, unless otherwise advised by a doctor. Copyright ‚© 2007 Natural Standard Inc.
