help me sleep

[EBF_2356]

I have no problems staying asleep until my alarm wakes me, but what is there to help me fall asleep...natural or supplemental, I'm not worried.

Stims are non existent after lunch (1pm).

Melatonin should do the trick.

The best natural (non-prescription) option would be a formula by Irwin Naturals called "POWER TO SLEEP".

While melatonin straight up will likely do the trick, I've had some really whacked out dreams, so I prefer a blend. My absolute fave is Sleep by Top Secret Nutrition. One tab before bed and I'm out! You can get it on NutraPlanet too!

mmm doubtful
while melatonin may be one of the better known and popularized "remedies", but that actuality of this helping is dependent on the individual's melatonin levels -- which, is usually not low and therefore not the problem. there are many ppl who this won't help at all

i'm in the same boat, been having horrible sleep issues for an extended time..just picked up some G8 from Finaflex
ooooooo wow. incredible!
went from taking forever to fall asleep, waking every 6x an hour, to these last few nights of nice drifting off at bedtime/going hours w/o waking up/bed is not disturbed at all so i am not even moving in my sleep!
i awake feeling so rested and good these last few mornings..

truly amazing

So what is it that you companies product has that would work over melatonin?

also how would OP know if his levels are low or his circadian rhythm is off?

[Sean1332]

melatonin works, GABA also works by helping me relax

All depends on how much you take. Agreed that the standard 3mg dose won't do it for most. In the past, I've taken 10mg at once and conked out!

I used to take Ambien like candy to try and sleep. I now use NightRest and it works awesome. Just a combo of magnesium, GABA, taurine, melatonin, lemon balm, passion flower, chamomile, skullcap, and Glycine.

i'll disagree again
if you have norm levels of melatonin production, you can take all the supplemental melatonin in the world - to no avail

dint make any blanket statements to melatonin NOT working

skullcap lol (some of the names of these herbs)
anyway - magnesium is a great relaxant
there is a product called Calm, that is awesome relaxant if you are just tight/tensioned, and need to relax

Skullcap is pretty well known stuff.

yes i know
wasn't disputing, simply laffing at name
(horny goat weed makes me laff too)

our REM-8.0 works really well, formally known as ressurect. 1 teaspoon does the job nicely and would allow the product to last for a good bit of time

[tdonnelly0987]

Target's brand of Unisom sleep gels combined with ZMA. Taking Unisom on it's own knocks me out but I still feel very tired the next morning. When I added in ZMA, I wake up feeling refreshed and energized.

[snagencyV2.0]

ZMA ..
developed by your upstanding and morally solid Victor Conte




just don't claim that this boosts testosterone..may help sleep and balance slight mineral deficiencies tho

[EBF_2356]

I have used g8. I found it to be real good for giving me deep sleep. Not getting to sleep. Same with ZMA and melatonin.

I had been used a Time Released Melatonin at 3mg.

Nothing yet. I did try and keep room at a certain temp and it seemed to help somewhat. Just a struggle....

you dose it empty stomach ~15min before sleep?

i still say try some Calm..could be a cheap fix

other options are like herbal teas, Celestial Seasonings has Sleepytime and Tension Tamer variations, worked for me couple yrs back but i've gotten out of the tea habit for some reason
don't know if they have these things Down Under...

Will look into it Steve. Thx

I wonder if coop would agree. He recommends daily dosing of melatonin at <1g IIRC.
