That was a bit click bait of me but I really want to know.

I don't sleep well and have not for a very, very long time. I imagine that a lot of others here have similar issues with it.

So. How do you sleep at night?

Do you have supplements that help? Are you on some sort of medication?

Do you just do what I do now and say screw it and get what little sleep you can when you can?

Maybe one or two times a year I feel like I get amazing sleep and its like life is in full color rather than black an white. Anyone else live like that?

[edit] I should have pinged suplex on this one. ;)

Do you ever get increased hearth rate, shallow breathing or tossing and turning at night, or restless leg syndrome?

Not particularly, it has happened before but it's few and very far between. Since im not getting deep sleep I do end up waking up, rolling over and going back to sleep often.

There is two things I would recommend you to try:

  • Potassium supplement. Low potassium can keep your nervous system from fully relaxing and going into deep sleep, it also can give you high blood pressure. I use NOW Foods, Potassium Gluconate Powder and it works great for me. A lot of people have low potassium and don't even know it.

  • L-theanine. It an amino acid extrated from tea that can lower your blood cortisol levels by up to 70%. I use it as needed in situations where I know I'm too stressed to fall asleep or if I wake up in the middle of the night and can't go back to sleep over stress. Works quickly and works well. I would also go with NOW foods.

Ill try it out. Ive also been told that magnesium supplements probably would help too. If it works ill let you know.
