What’s your sleep stack?

[Necessary Evil]

I just ordered 2 tubs of Dream Sleep from TBJP.

This formula has:

• L-Tryptophan: 750mg
• Mucuna Pruriens (20% L-Dopa): 500mg
• Valerian Root (10:1 Extract): 50mg
• Magnesium Bisglycinate: 500mg
• KSM-66 Ashwagandha: 400mg
• L-Theanine: 300mg
• 5-HTP: 300mg
• Zinc Methionine: 30mg
• Vitamin B6: 10mg

Has anyone here used this before?

Seems like a heavy stack for a non-benzo/non-Z-drug aid. I'm curious if the 5-HTP and L-Dopa combo actually helps with the "prep brain" or if it’s overkill. Any issues with grogginess or weird dreams?

Im not a fan of l-theanine. Why? because it induces alpha brain waves. Thats not very uselful for sleep. Its the frequenz in a relexed awake state or semisleep state. Ans what i noticed is that it somwwhat helps you fall asleep even though sleep is a mig stretch as you will stay in a semiwake state. Lile just begore fallimg asleep completely. However 300mg is a pretty low dosages.

Im also not thrilled about KSM-66 based on the fact that it affects some many things and Post Ashwaganda syndrom is a real thing. (Look it up). And why would you wnant more dopamine for sleep again? For slep serotonin is important, dopamine will keep you awake most of the time (see ritalin, Amphetamines, Cocain which all raise dopamine). Its not so simple becaus for example i get very tired when taking ritalin at least for the 30min it starts working however generally speaking its not a thing you really want or need to raise.for good sleep.

For falling asleep, melantonin is the king (however always choose a time release version because thats how melantonin works naturally. The problem with sprays, non trnpills etc. is that the will generate a short peak which falls very quickly. Instead of genratimg a consistemz level in melantonin lile your body does.) GABA is also nice.
