I feel like for me it would be thwarted by the fact creatine seems to completely mess up my sleep. I don't remember that from when I was younger, but recently tried adding it to my diet and had to bail.
- almost_usual 4mo agoI counteract it with Magnesium Glycinate. Works well for me.
- rpozarickij 4mo agoMagnesium Taurate is the form of magnesium I settled on. I take 1500mg of it (300mg elemental Mg) every evening before sleep, but I feel that even half of this dose has a noticeable effect on my sleep. Magnesium Glycinate was destroying my sleep even when I took it in the afternoon. I'd wake up after 4-5h of sleep and would feel completely alert as if it was midday and then tiredness would slowly ascend on me over the next few hours but I'd still be unable to fall asleep.
- jcul 4mo agoMagnesium has a crazy effect on my sleep, very very noticeably deeper. Not necessarily more restful, but deep and I don't remember anything. With B6 it's deep but more interspersed with vivid dreams. I take zinc with them too, my own zma stack basically. I'm not sure the zinc has a direct effect on sleep, I take it for testosterone benefits. These made me realize that legal vitamins and supplements can have much more than a subtle effect.
- jq-r 4mo agoI can't stop having vivid, and mostly bad dreams with it making me tired the next day. I guess I should switch to something else.
- SkyPuncher 4mo agoI discover the sleep issues were related to my inability to digest the monohydrate form. I’d get sweats, chills, all of the nasty side effects. I switched to HCL and tolerate it massively better.
- cadr 4mo agoOh, fascinating. The latest one was definitely monohydrate - maybe I was using HCL years ago and just don't remember. I'll look into that. Thanks!
