Insomnia is a symptom, rather than a disease, and is characterized by inadequate quantity or quality of sleep. People with insomnia complain of difficulty falling or staying asleep, which results in significant impairment of daytime functioning. Insomnia is categorized as transient (shorter than one week), short-term (one to three weeks) or chronic (longer than three...
Alright, so some of you asked me to post if I ever figured out why I wasn't exactly waking up refreshed.... I think I know why now.
So, after suffering for the past month, I finally think I have an answer....
I was told to give L-histadine a try. I was kind of scared of L-histadine and still am by the way. So, previously, I've been experimenting with 100mg here and there. I didn't feel anything.
Over the weekend, I finally, said F_IT! I took the full dose @500mg along with it's supporting vitamins. In around 10 or may be 20 minutes, I felt drowsy. I felt like I needed to lay down.
I laid down and closed my eyes. I felt super lazy and super comfortable. As I dozed off, my legs would jerk or my arms would jerk real hard. Well, enough to annoy me. So, I got out of bed after around 30 minutes of laying there.
I took 500mg L-tyrosine because I already know that the jerking was caused by insufficient levels of dopamine and yep, that took care of it and I slept really, really, really good.
I woke up in the morning feeling totally refreshed, energized and ready to go!
NO MORE FEELING LIKE it was ONLY A NAP!!!! OMG!!!
NO MORE FEELING LIKE HALF A ZOMBIE!!!! OMG!!!
NO MORE ZONED OUT!!!
Ok, So, with all supplements, I'm skipping it until I feel that I am in need of it again and then will pop another 500mg since L-histadine and L-tyrosine is supposed to be abundant in protein anyway but you know.... when you're low, you're just lowwwww!!

I don't mean low on this chemical or that, but why do you think you are low on them in the first place?
Maybe we can help you permanently address these underlying root causes so you are no longer dependent on all these substances.
I'm still on one medication.
I'm taking it for a rare eye condition.
There's nothing anyone can do to help. I'm a sleep specialist myself and I know all too well of all the tricks and techniques.
It all works great. Don't get me wrong but when your brain is missing critical vitamins, it just doesn't want to function right. Imagine a squeaky door hinge. Unless you pour in a lubricant, it won't ever work the way it is meant to work.
Cheers!
