5 HTP question

[Clidu]

Due to my other half getting very annoyed that my constant kicking and sleep talking is keeping her up iv decided to try getting up at 6am and taking a 5htp then staying awake an hour then back to bed....will this work or does it take a while to kick in? Im using 5htp to make my dreams more vivid and ofcourse to induce lucidity....thankx =)

5htp should be taken in the evening, not the moning. I will deepen you sleep.

5-HTP kicks in pretty fast, because it is basically like already processed L-Tryptophan. But be carefull as if you stay up to long after taking it your body only produces Serotonin and not Melatonin (which you want). I personally get the best result by taking a mixture of 5-HTP (fast acting) and L-Tryptophan (slow acting) before going to bed and I avoid blue light for two hours before sleep. I use filters for my phone since not using it for two hours seems like tortoure Hope this helps
