The heat and/or flush caused by niacin helps me relax and fall asleep. Does anyone else experience this effect with respect to sleep?

Yes, I have noticed that several times, mostly with plain form, not niacinamide, but it was earlier in the day, after a meal. Not sure why the effect. I thought B's generally were to be avoided at bedtime. If niacin is an exception, it would be nice to know.The heat and/or flush caused by niacin helps me relax and fall asleep.

Very interesting! Yes, I'm referring to flush niacin, too. Could the flush somehow cause an antihistaminic effect- i.e., make one sleepy?Yes I have the same experience, but only with flushing niacin.
If it is true what peat says that it liberates histamine ,this doesn't make any sense since sleeping pills are histamine antagonists and histamine is a excitiory neurotransmitter.
this comes from someone who has sleep problems for a long time ,so there is not that many things put me to sleep.

Thats where i was heading to. I have read that it empties histamin stores overtime, but I dont even no if such a thing exists since histamine can easily be created from an amino acid ... also this wouldnt explain why it works even the first time and actually gets less effective with everyday use...so not sure about that idea. But there must be some gabaergic / anti-histamin effect somehow...Very interesting! Yes, I'm referring to flush niacin, too.

Yes it's raising nitric oxide.... vasodilation...The heat and/or flush caused by niacin helps me relax and fall asleep. Does anyone else experience this effect with respect to sleep?
