I find 5-HTP agitating for some reason. But some people do like it.

If the magnesium is OXIDE or has OXIDE in it for a mixture it is
not being absorbed. Chelates or SlowMag (magnesium chloride)
are much better. Ionic Fizz has carbonate form that works well, too. I've pretty much switched to magnesium lotion, now, since all the mags are hard on my GI tract to some extent.

The tryptophan was the major thing. Hubby is now using it too.
He sleeps lighter than I do.

The theanine has stopped the anxiety and nightmares I was having as well. It is helpful to relax but not really a sleep aid per se.

It is really important to avoid caffeine during the day, too.
