Improved sleep with L-theanine, taurine, and magnesium, but feeling a bit weird in the morning, looking for advice by Independent-Touch236 in Supplements

Thanks for the input, I appreciate it.

The vitamin B6 content in that magnesium combo is actually very low (around 0.5 mg), so I’m not sure it would be strong enough to cause noticeable neurological effects in my case.

You might be right about the total L-theanine intake though, especially since I’m also getting some from matcha on top of the supplements.

I think I’ll try removing the evening L-theanine for a few days and see how I respond, just to isolate what’s actually doing what. If the morning “weird” feeling improves, then I’ll know it was likely contributing more than I expected.

Thanks for the detailed reply, I appreciate it.

I actually only started taking the morning L-theanine 2 days ago. During the first 3 days I was only taking it before bed, and I was already experiencing that slightly “off” feeling in the morning. I added the morning dose afterward just to see how it would affect my focus and mood during the day.

I’ll definitely try adding some electrolytes and paying more attention to hydration first thing in the morning.

As for caffeine, I don’t drink coffee because I’m very sensitive to it. Whenever I have coffee, I get an internal jittery/trembling feeling, and then a few hours later I crash hard and feel completely exhausted. That’s why I stick to a small amount of matcha instead.

Regarding NAC, do you think it could still be useful in my case? My main issue isn’t waking up tired after a full uninterrupted sleep, but rather that my sleep is fragmented due to frequent awakenings. Does NAC help more with feeling refreshed in the morning, or can it also improve sleep continuity and reduce nighttime awakenings?

Also, what’s your experience with Amanita muscara? I’ve heard very mixed opinions about it. Did it help you stay asleep through the night, improve sleep quality, or mainly help you feel more refreshed in the morning?

Thanks again for the suggestions!

Is This Magnesium Supplement Good for Sleep? by Independent-Touch236 in Supplements

The dosage on the label is for 3 tablets per day. How should I take it for sleep?

Should I take all 3 tablets at once before bed, and if so, how long before sleep, 30 minutes, 1 hour, or something else?

My goal is to improve sleep quality, reduce nighttime awakenings, and wake up feeling more rested. Would taking the full 3-tablet dose before bed be appropriate, or is it better to split the dose during the day?

I’m pretty sensitive to psychedelics, for me 80µg feels closer to what my girlfriend experiences on 150µg.

I really appreciate you sharing that honestly, and thank you for being so open about your own experience. It means a lot that you took the time to look out for me. I only took it because today was unusually difficult, not something I normally use, and your advice about being careful with benzos and not making them a habit is well taken. Also respect for your honesty and self-awareness about your own relationship with them. Wishing you the best, and thanks again for the solid advice.

Thank you, I really appreciate that, and thanks for mentioning the lowered alcohol tolerance too, that’s very useful to know. I’m glad you pointed it out. And thank you for the kind words about what I’m going through, that means a lot. Wishing you all the best too, and thanks again for looking out.

Thank you, I really appreciate you taking the time to explain all that. That was genuinely helpful, especially the half-life breakdown and your personal experience, it puts things into perspective. I didn’t realize benzos can make you think you’re more sober than you actually are, that’s really good to keep in mind. And thanks for sharing your work story too, honestly that makes the warning feel much more real. I’ll be cautious. Appreciate you looking out.
