That’s so bizarre, what happens when you take caffeine? I ask because my youngest son takes caffeine to wind down at night... maybe you have oppositional defiance order lol
For me GABA and 5 htp are super effective as natural remedies for sleep aid, honestly, when I randomly wake up in the middle of the night and I feel too awake to fall right back to sleep, 1 GABA will put me back in rest mode and I’m right back to sleep

Brother so many people have brains that are wired differently.. I also know quite a few people that can have a cup of coffee and go right to bed.. it's bizarre..
Once in awhile we would hire a straggler for a day or two is that abused prescription pills, some of these guys get all torqued out.. whatever I had a prescription for medicine for pain, they would have me drooling on myself..
It's funny how people's brains are just wired differently, and how supplement and medications affect people differently..
Tonight maybe try the combination of everything? Now just a suggestion that I notice for myself, is Gaba and melatonin work best when they are taken everyday, their studies that support that these work better and more efficient and effectively when we take them even when we don't think we need them if that makes any sense.. I was talking with one of the specialist at my sleep clinic center and I was just blabbing on about how I take melatonin occasionally when I can't sleep, and she gave me like a 10-minute run down of how the stuff really works and lead into me that I have to take it continuously.. everything she was saying you made complete sense.. she was at the sizing that works with the Gaba and melatonin the same way.. all the while I was taking "when needed".. who would have thought?!?!?!?
I think that's the common effect -- melatonin gives you all the signalling to get tired and sleep but does nothing after it's worn off in a couple hours. Normal people will keep on sleeping but insomniacs will be up again. I've been there before... stress triggered.
Fortunately sleep is no issue now. It's waking the fuck up without two pots of coffee that dogs me. Guess I need to find my way out of this thread lol.
Yeah that's my problem, most nights I only get 5 hrs then wake up for 1-2hrs, then go back to bed for 2 hrs.
One thing I can say for sure, before I contracted Lyme disease a few years ago I never had any trouble sleeping my entire life!!
Also it was the Lyme disease that caused the hypothyroid and hypogonadism, so it messed up a lot of my brain and hormone funtions

Oof, that blows. Lyme is underappreciated as a life changer. Had a friend with chronic fatigue from it and was incurable, and she was highly active and energetic beforehand. They need to find a real cure since the ticks' huge endemic range is going nowhere.
My sleep was worse than normal adding the gaba again last night. So doesn't seem to work for me.
Does the exact same thing for me. Gets me all edgy be at night. Never taken it during the day, might work lolMuch better sleep without the gaba last night.... maybe I will start taking it in the morning as a pick-me-up for the day..lol

Started taking GABA & 5-HYP PLUS+ this week, falling asleep very quickly, and waking up feeling rested... So far I’m a believer!
I wish it worked out for you REHH, I know how hard it is to battle sleepless nights, it sucks. Like Vision said this has been educational...
Mr Godzilla, seems like we are somewhat wired the same way when it comes to GABA and 5 HTP for sleep, I’m glad to see you’re getting good rest mano.
Thanks, I appreciate it. I will play with it some more. Interesting..If you look on the label of both bottles they say to take during the day, not night.

Thanks bro! Been battling with sleep issues for years, did sleep studies, got CPAP and still 80% of time slept like shit. Hopefully this stuff has longevity because I am feeling the best I have in years when I wake up!
Personally, I can say the cocktail has worked better than prescription sleep aids as far as longevity is concerned, obviously not as strong as an ambien but infinitely better with no known side effects, at least none that I’m aware of

Only serious side effects I am aware of are when combining 5-htp with antidepressant drugs like SSRI's that also boost serotonin levels. This can cause serotonin syndrome.Personally, I can say the cocktail has worked better than prescription sleep aids as far as longevity is concerned, obviously not as strong as an ambien but infinitely better with no known side effects, at least none that I’m aware of

it DOES give me that feeling in the day, it goes away.. But deff 110% just like a SSRI, like how you would feel when starting a new med..Feels like I've taken an antidepressant like an SSRI.
