      what dosage?
      • toomuchtodo10 hours ago
        L-theanine 100mg-400mg, test to optimize

        Melatonin 1mg-3mg, test to optimize (less is usually more optimal, but everyone's biology is different)

        Avoid alcohol whenever possible from a sleep perspective.

            Noticeable calm and reduced "noise" when trying to sleep.

    Cannabis. Huge help, but not for everyone

    I have friends for which it does the opposite

    THC, CBD does nothing for me
