Insomniac for 20 years. What was a complete solution for me was: magnesium, b6 p5p (p5p form very important) and the ultimate punch glycine. Glycine takes some getting used to, as you will have crazy intense dreams at first. But it is a very safe supplement to take even in large doses. I always had huge insomnia issues after a physically intensive days after workouts. The stack I settled on solved it. A heavy day just needs a bit more magnesium and quite a bit more glycine.

How much of each do you take and when do you take them?
- rapsey 1mo ago
  B6 40/50mg depending on the pill. Magnesium 300mg or so. Glycine I started with 3/5g, now I take like 30g

    Timing? How many hours before bed?
    - rapsey 1mo ago
      Magnesium around every half hour around 100mg starting 2h before bed, the rest when I go to bed.

    Probably worth getting blood B6 levels checked every now and then, taking reasonably big does like that can cause it to build up and eventually give you nerve damage leading to peripheral neuropathy.
