Can't sleep? Here's why you need to take 5-HTP | Natural Highs

Nutrients, minerals and vitamins have a key role to play in the way we feel mentally and there are a number of supplements and superfoods that can act as natural highs to boost mood, energy, improve sleep and give us a sense of well being.

For insomnia I suggest: 1. Read boring book, 2. Read words of wisdom (Spiritual text of choice), 3. Do full body relaxation and/or breathing techniques. 4. Resist viewing all devices 1 hr before bed.

Some day we will have a medication for every person. I found another video on YouTube about 5-HTP. I decided to take it because I sleep about 3 to 4 hours every night, but not continuously. Not only that, but I also took two 10 mg melatonin pills all together and nothing happened. I was trying to stop Diphenhydramine, which makes me sleep. This medication does not work for me, neither the melatonin. We're different, most people don't drink coffee in the afternoon because it affects sleep pattern, I can drink 500 ml of coffee and sleep right away.

Can I take rhodiola rhosea in the morning for energy and 50mg of 5htp before bed?

How long does it take for it to have an effect on you?
I've read that it works instantly but also that you have to take it for several days/weeks for it to give an effect (similar to ssri's)?
If I wanted to take it the day after a night out to feel a bit more up beat, would it work?

Hi Rick, quick question. Someone recommended to me to have it in the morning. Will that make me somnolent during the day? And any natural sources of it out there? Or tryptophan? Cheers ;)

Hello Doctor..I suffer from anxiety and tension when I face a problem. My body trembles, my heartbeat increases, and I feel difficult to speak. . I tried beta-blockers and my condition improved a lot..but I suffer from bronchiectasis and phlegm, which negatively affected my health..Are there nutritional supplements or herbs that work like beta-blockers?

[frankw]

I tried this and i regret doing it. I took one tablet at 9pm, went to bed at 10pm I feel very sleepy my eyes really hurt because i was so tired BUT i could NOT sleep at all. Change position over and over until i finally fall to sleep at 5AM yes 5AM and i had to get up 2h later

Is it safe to take 800mg + in one go? I have found that taking it seems to improve my sleep, but only when I take 2 or 3 tablets at once.

Turn up the music I kept hearing someone mumbling

Hello, is it possible to take Dopa Mocana with 5htp for mild depression and for activity, and do they have a special way to take them?

Hey if 5htp stop working lay off it for a week or two and then get back on it.
