Hey Wes
« on: November 18, 2021, 04:52:36 AM »
Saw in the tribute thread you have shitty sleep.  Didn't want to disrupt that thread so I started a new one.

I tried this supplement stack recently.  It took about a week to "kick in" but then my sleep was better than it's been in a long time.  I actually looked forward to it.

https://brainflow.co/index.php/2021/08/14/dr-andrew-hubermans-sleep-cocktail/

In summary, it's:

Magnesium Threonate
Theanine
Apigenin

I had no idea what the f those were either when I heard of this.  Anyway, I'd take the supplements, read for 20 min, then out cold until the am unless something woke me up.  If it did, I could fall back asleep ASAP.

Worth a shot.

For awhile, I was just using the combo of Magnesuium Citrate / Zinc / Melatonin, but i've found melatonin helps with falling asleep, but I'd wake up 4 hours later.

Just thought you might be interested.

I just started taking this after watching some of his videos recently. It’s been less than a week, but every night so far I’ve been having vivid dreams like crazy on 200mg L-theanine, 144mg of magnesium l-threonate and 50mg of apigenin. Not sure if it’s a placebo effect, but I usually don’t remember my dreams. He’s also not a fan of melatonin.

Thank G.A.,I`ll look into those.

I`ve tried Melatonin,and Valerian root to no avail.

One of my doctors precibes generic Ambien to me,I take 2 and stare at the ceiling all night.....one pill is the recommended dosage.

Got up at 2:30 AM last noght/morning,posted on here a bit and was gonna train biceps at home around 5:00AM....suddenly got tired and ctually caught 2 +1/2 hours of restful sleep.

Thanks again bud,I`ll keep you posted once I give those a try.

Vivid dreams are certainly a side effect.

You took same dosage I did.  He suggests 300mg of Threonate, but that would be 8 pills.

Another thing to try is to not use your computer at night before you go to bed. The light stimulates your brain to keep you awake. Read a book. I know I'm guilty of using the computer before bed. As I age I have a terrible time sleeping too. No wonder old people start their day at 5AM and eat dinner early.

Yes, avoiding blue light and having a routine supposedly helps.

Keep regular hours.  Don't stay up late on weekends or sleep in.

Go to bed when tired but get up at the same time everyday, even weekends.  Use an alarm clock if necessary to get up.  Plan for 8 hours sleep.  If you get up at 6AM, go to bed lights out by 10 PM.

Don't stay up on the computer or watching TV.

Keep the same schedule 7 days a week.  Don't stay up till 2AM and sleep till 10AM on weekends.

I also saw that and didn’t want to be going through a bottle every week

I liked GABA when I tried it a while back. Definitely relaxing and helps with the falling asleep process for me although that’s not my problem

I found it always helped to turn off the lights and close your eyes when you want to go to sleep.

Before, I was taking some magnesium oxide then I realized the absorption rate is something in the single digit percentile. I want to say 4%

This helps.

Having a good wank or getting a bj from the GF/mistress/wife works wonders too.

This is hysterical. Does someone change your diaper and give you your bottle too?
