[QUOTE="FireDragon76, post: 77640773, member: 330042"] Phenibut is a fairly heavy sedative and GABA agonist, you have to be careful with it. It's like a drug like Ambien, which can also cause sleepwalking. But if you have trouble sleeping, the benefits might outweigh the risks. I used to take an all-night sedative when I had really bad fibromyalgia and it did help, though it did cause some rebound insomnia when I went off it. I think theanine works on slightly different mechanisms, by manipulating serotonin and dopamine, in addition to GABA. It's found mostly in green tea in low amounts (I think less than 20mg per cup, matcha has more). It just promotes a calm feeling, and isn't as strong as the sleeping pills I used to take. According to Dr. Andrew Huberman, a neuroscientist and fitness influencer, ten minutes of yoga nidra every day helps promote sleep at night. I didn't know what yoga nidra was, so I looked it up, and it turns out I've done it before in a yoga class. At an old yoga studio we used to go to, the class ended with ten minutes of a guided meditation in the corpse pose, flat on your back, with a body scan meditation. I sort of stumbled recently onto something similar by working with the Garmin stress score on my watch. During the height of my post COVID experience, sometimes I would even lay on the floor in the narthex in church just to get in a few minutes rest doing this, to conserve energy. But it turns out this kind of thing can actually help you sleep at night, and it's better than taking a nap. It helps if you can focus on your breathing to turn off the monkey mind. [/QUOTE]
