Anecdotally, I’ve found that theanine radically increases the vividness and memorability of my dreams.

Of course that might be be a great effect depending on the content of my dreams.

That could mean deeper sleep, but I’ve not really measured that.

It does that for me too, but usually that seems to result in worse sleep.

I did.

The article makes no claims about dreams or the relationship between dreams and sleep quality.
