Other than GHB or alcohol, which supplements increase non-REM sleep/slow-wave sleep (arguably the most understated factor that affects depression, heart disease, memory, etc)?

My first thought would be gabapentine or pregabaline. Recently I have been researching pregnenolone and some documents stated that it might increase SWS as well.

The former two are GABA analogues. There are new developments to show that 5-HT2A antagonists are good at inducing non-REM sleep which helps with some forms of depression. ADs such as trazodone and tiagabine.

Edit: Lets keep this thread to easily accessible drugs/supplements and not SWS research chemicals like tetrahydrocannabinol, tetrahydroisoxazolopyridinol/THIP.

Don't many common "sleep aids" both OTC and prescription increase non-REM sleep?
