User reports on supplement stacks and methods for falling and staying asleep

I ran an epitalon cycle and the sleep improvement was impressive. I slept less than usual, around six hours instead of eight, yet woke up feeling properly rested and ready to go. Followed the 500mcg daily for twenty days approach.

Epitalon should arrive today and I'm eager to start. Planning to follow Pocket's plan. DSIP had zero effect for me.

I already use mag glycinate along with glycine and taurine for sleep. DSIP made my sleep worse. Adding epitalon to DSIP was basically neutral overall. Neither stood out.

Magnesium does nothing for me. I don't stay up late and can fall asleep fine but staying asleep is the real issue. A cortisol supplement from my naturopath didn't change anything either. I have a trial vial of epitalon so maybe it's worth trying. My husband deals with the same problem. He uses reta once a week while I combine tirz with a bit of reta.

I tend to wake up about three hours after falling asleep and then stay awake for hours, likely from cortisol. DSIP didn't help at all. Adding 400mg of magnesium glycinate at night changed things a lot and now I get solid sleep most nights. My Apple Watch numbers match how I feel. It's become one of my favorite supplements. Still curious how epitalon turns out for others.

I already take magnesium and want to add glycine next but I'm checking with my neurologist first since it carries a warning about seizures. Should I stick with the glycinate form or take them as separate supplements?

Solid advice from that longevity advocate includes turning off screens an hour before bed, stopping food and drink three hours prior, reading a physical book for ten minutes, avoiding strenuous activity three hours before, and keeping the room dark, quiet, and around 68 degrees. Following all of it works when I manage to stick with it, though that's the hard part. One night of late sports or scrolling resets everything.

Epithalon at 1mg daily for a month followed by as-needed use once or twice a week worked really well for the two rats here. One had sleep trouble since their twenties and now sleeps straight through. After the initial thirty-day cycle and two-week break, daily dosing started causing daytime sleepiness so switching to once or twice weekly fixed that.

Magnesium at bedtime helps me. Metformin from a doctor can help too if you can get a prescription.

Palmitoylethanolamide

Sleep habits come first for decent rest. CJC/Ipa improved my sleep quite a bit but HGH has been even stronger. The CJC/Ipa version brought intense dreams yet I still woke often to use the bathroom. HGH lets me stay asleep the whole night.

Sleep used to be solid until I started intermittent fasting and then longer fasts, reaching a hundred-hour one. That exact night everything changed and it's been poor for about four years now. Tried everything mentioned here and more with little success. Unisom works best though I avoid using it two nights running.

Ashwagandha can help though it tends to produce unusual dreams especially early on. Use a high-quality extract standardized for withanolides since that's the active part.

Magnesium glycinate plus L-theanine together let me sleep through the night. Without both I keep waking up.

I use magnesium, ashwagandha, and glycine powder at bedtime and it's helped considerably. Falling asleep is easy but staying asleep was the struggle until the glycine powder became the missing piece that lets me remain asleep longer.

Magnesium glycinate is worth repeating. It let me reach deeper sleep.

1200mg

I've gone ahead and bought some magnesium glycinate.

The biggest shift came from staying off devices an hour before bed to give the brain a break from constant stimulation. I also use the magnesium and glycine combination.

Growth has made a major improvement to my sleep.

Both forms of magnesium, threonate along with glycinate, are part of my intake. DSIP produced really strong benefits for me.

For nearly three years now sleep problems have bothered me constantly. Each night I use magnesium glycinate with half a trazodone yet locating the right reta level created a huge positive change. Earlier I relied on tirz while increasing the amount little by little. Around 8mg my rest became deeply sound once more. It left me feeling completely renewed.

My usual nighttime supplements consist of the glycinate version of magnesium along with glycine. When I want additional profound or quick rest I include ashwagandha and apigenin.

For the past few evenings I've been going to bed around nine or ten and waking up between three and four. I suspect the evening dose of BPC could be causing this since others mentioned similar issues. I'm also using Reta and usually need something to eat before bed to avoid waking early. The initial night was rough because I couldn't fall asleep. Once people mentioned magnesium I decided to eat some pumpkin seeds along with peanut butter on bread and that helped me doze off deeply without interruptions.

I rely on glycine along with taurine, epithalon, and getting worn down from working out.

Curious when this will start improving how well I rest each night.

Even though these things like magnesium glycinate with theanine gaba apigenin glycine and ashwagandha let me doze off my total rest stays between four and six hours with four being typical. I've lost track of their specific roles in initiating sleep or maintaining it and a few don't seem effective anymore. Considering peptides as another option for better sleep leaves me without any specific ideas.
