I'm not an insomniac but my circadian rhythm is kind of f*cked up as I work night shifts and sometimes have 24-hour-work-days.

Today I tried a sleeping-aid-supplement that contains LT-1 Tryptophan and melatonin, among other things, and it knocked me out for four hours in the afternoon. I felt kind of groggy when I woke up but it subsided when I took some caffeine. Had an awesome workout after that.

I worked nights for a while, here is what I have found out....

you are dead tired and you sleep 10h in the day time, your room is dark and you have no other noise that should wake you up.

You still wake up feeling like shit.

I do this too.  I hardly ever sleep for more than four hours or so without waking up.  If I ever do get a solid uninterrupted eight hours I feel like Superman.

Have a high intensity cardio workout for an hour.

Get home and eat a turkey sandwich, while washing it down with warm milk and taking in 50mg of Benadryl.

Masturbate 3 times straight.

Go lie down.

Best sleep you'll have in years..

Insomnia tends to get worse over time. Try to counteract with magnesium and calcium (two of the milk ingredients), melatonin, GABA, and ZMA.

Is the old prostate acting up?  ;D

All kidding aside, not getting enough sleep sucks.

Eating tryptophan rich food items has already been mentioned but also make sure that you're not too restrictive on your carb intake as it can affect your serotonin levels. I'm sure a lot of people have gone on keto-diets and found it "impossible" to fall asleep at night.

One more thing regarding serotonin... Rhodiola Rosea acts as a weak mao-inhibitor and may slow down the breakdown of said neurotransmitter. You could pop a pill before you start stuffing your face with a turkey sandwich and some warm milk. Not sure how effective this is but Rhodiola is dirt cheap and has a lot of other benefits.
