I've tried cypro many times in tablet and liquid form and after a night or two it actually seems to make my sleep worse. I've tried taking it at various times from 5pm to 10pm in varying doses.
My conclusion is that my cortisol is getting to low at night.
I say this because I've had my cortisol tested a few different times by blood serum, saliva and urine and every time it was either normal or low.
At my most stressed state it was barely out of single digits for the entire day.
It's almost as if for me when I'm really stressed adrenaline rises but cortisol lowers instead of both rising.
I seem to get the same result when I do mindfulness meditation before bed. Mindfulness meditation has been show to lower cortisol. Every time I've tried it before bed I end up having very fitful sleep.
