Great Sleep Aid
As an older person (ancient) I have experienced difficulty getting a good night's sleep.
I have tried many sleep supplements and dosages. Up until now the combinations and dosages that worked left me sleepy in the daytime and napping too much. I accidentally came across an article about the sleep benefits of glycine. The article mentioned that glycine helped you sleep better but also decreased daytime sleepiness. I also found I was taking too much melatonin.
My current “sleep stack" is 1mg of timed release melatonin two hours before bedtime and 3 grams of glycine right at bedtime. I have been taking this for several months now to great effect.
Glycine will help the first night you take it, but it took me about three days feel the full effects.
