Hi all,
Anyone out there have tried tryptophan to help with sleeping?
I read some good reviews online how people sleep so well after taking it, so I bought a bottle yesterday and give it a try. I took 3 (500mg) capsules before bedtime. I did fall asleep, but I woke up in the middle of the night (didn't look at the clock, I assume it's 3 or 4hours later) and can't go back to sleep at all. Then I got up in the morning feeling groggy.
Does it take some times for it to work? or should I lower the dose?
Any input is appreciated :)

First, no one on the internet can diagnose you. No one knows your health issues or medical history, what other drugs or supplements you are taking. So take any info here with a grain of salt, and understand there is no substitute for a medical professional who examines you and knows your unique medical history.
Second, sleep is only the symptom. Sleep actually is a very normal and natural thing to do that should be effortless. The key is to find out what is disrupting or disturbing your sleep in the first place, and treat that. That's your route to a permanent solution.
