If I have salt at night it's impossible for me to sleep. Everytime I have salt at night I feel wired and overheat

[ensignj]

I just started using 3g glycine at night (I didnt know about taking salt). First two night, I haven’t felt any difference yet. Ill try it with salt tonight.

if I'm not mistaken glycine also stimulates AVP hormone just like salt.

I want thank you Chris...first...for ALL your very deep and interesting Videos!! For this Video Topic here...i am a bit surprised that the Man dont ask the question about the best Ratio of which this Salt/Glycin can work. I personally use daily...in the late evening around 10 -20 Gramm Glycin Powder...and get nearly good sleep....just the pee Problem for me at Night is most the Problem. Perhaps i can fix it with Salt surprise that i have a bit problems with my OMAD Nutrion...in the evening....(Yes..i know...not allways the best Time to eat....but i work on this : ): Thanks for any Ideas about the possible Salt intake...(speciall with a Low Carb vegan Diet...i would need more Salt as others i think.) Thanks again for all your Work....from Andreas in France(Alsace).

Regarding glycine and collagen, is glycine alone enough for collagen production? I have read some studies showing that supplementing with only glycine provides same benefits as supplementing with collagen. Is that true? Thank you, Chris 💪🙏

U didn't touch upon the effect of salt on mineralocorticoids w.r.t sleep.

[RawBogan]

Dr Masterjohn sometimes mentions that glycine can have the opposite effect. It can keep us awake. This happens to me. It’s extreme. I generally sleep okay but recently supplemented with glycine for a lark and barely slept for 3 days until I figured out what it was…
Does anyone understand why this may be? Why would/could it act as ‘an excitatory neurotransmitter’? Any specific mechanisms?

[sheilamore]

How much glycine and how much salt do you take?

[sahdev]

glycine activate glycine-gated chloride channels. Does this play any role in sleep? I think increasing salt will increase the chloride channels?
