With all I've learned and experimented with from this forum and other sources, I've really jacked up my thyroid function, testosterone, dopamine, and general energy levels. The problem is, I stay wired into the evening, and so getting restful sleep is tough!
I was wondering what nutrients in particular (and specific foods, sure) are helpful for restful sleep.
Magnesium and Potassium perhaps? I don't want to supplement melatonin per se, but I wonder if reducing tryptophan/serotonin so much has thrown that off lol. Maybe there's too much of a 'good thing' with respect to thyroid/testosterone/dopamine (I only take vitamin/mineral supps, no hormones/drugs). I just feel energetic and aggressive and motivated and high mood all the time =)
But yeah the sleep has been suffering a bit as of late. Basically it's hard to actually fall asleep, except after sex. Thanks for any ideas/help.
