Reishi Mushroom Extract for Sleep and Stress
This study is looking at how a daily dose of Bristol Fungarium's 1:4 Reishi Mushroom Tincture affects your sleep and stress levels. Researchers want to see if this organic Reishi extract, taken 30 minutes before bed, can improve how long you sleep, how quickly you fall asleep, reduce nighttime awakenings, and make you feel more rested. They also want to see if it can boost your daytime energy and lower your stress. You might be able to join if you are an adult US resident, can read English, and don't have certain health conditions like allergies, liver disease, or chronic illnesses, and are not pregnant or nursing. The study will measure changes in your perceived stress and fatigue after 4-5 weeks, and sleep disturbance after 6-7 weeks.

What this trial measures
- Perceived Stress Scale (Past Week Version)Change from baseline (Day 1-5) in perceived stress levels at 4-5 weeks after the start of the intervention
The Perceived Stress Scale (Past Week Version) is a modified version of the classic stress assessment tool that evaluates stress levels based on recent experiences within the last week. This scale helps in understanding how various situations have recently affected an individual's feelings and perceived stress levels. By focusing on a shorter time frame, it provides a more immediate assessment of stress, which can be particularly useful for quickly evaluating the effectiveness of stress management strategies or interventions. The tool retains its original structure, ensuring its reliability while making it more relevant for current stress evaluation. Score Range Minimum score: 0 Maximum score: 40 Score Interpretation Higher scores = worse outcome Higher scores indicate greater perceived stress
- Neuro-QOL Item Bank v1.0 -Fatigue - Short FormChange from baseline (Day 1-5) in fatigue levels at 6-7 weeks after the start of the intervention
This survey aims to assess the level of fatigue experienced by the participant in the past 7 days. Each question should be answered by selecting one of the five options ranging from 'Never' to 'Always'. Unabbreviated Scale Title Quality of Life in Neurological Disorders (Neuro-QoL™) Item Bank v1.0 - Fatigue - Short Form Score Range Raw score range: Most commonly used short forms: 8-40 T-score range (standardized): Typically \~30 to \~80, mean = 50, SD = 10 Score Interpretation Higher scores = worse outcome Higher scores reflect greater fatigue severity and impact
- PROMIS Sleep Disturbance ScaleChange from baseline (Day 1-5) in sleep disturbance levels at 6-7 weeks after the start of the intervention
The PROMIS Sleep Disturbance Scale is a validated and widely used assessment tool developed as part of the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) initiative. It is designed to measure the severity of sleep disturbances and disruptions experienced by individuals. This scale includes a range of questions that assess the frequency and impact of various sleep-related issues, such as difficulty falling asleep, nighttime awakenings, and restless sleep. Healthcare professionals and researchers rely on this scale to better understand and quantify sleep problems in patients, enabling them to tailor interventions and treatment strategies to address sleep-related concerns effectively.
