I've used Theanine also and it is definitely good for getting a more restful sleep. It is an excellent relaxant. In fact I actually forgot about it, I'm going to get on it again. Thanks for the reminder.

herbs

There are plenty of herbs out there that aid in sleeping:
California poppy, hops, kava kava, lemon balm, passionflower, skullcap and valarian root. Valarian root are favored among most people and scientists. I like a blend of Passionflower and valarian root. Its best to not rely on a single herb but to rotate among several. Take them before bedtime.

-California poppy and chamomile strengthens the central nervous system to calm you before bedtime.
-Catnip has mild seddative properties as well as chamomile, which is safe for children and you can find them in capsules as well as in teas.

RECOMMENDATION:

-In the evening, eat baanas, dates, figs, milk, nut butter, tuna, turkey, whole grain crackers or yogurt. These foods are high in tryptophan, which promotes better sleep.
-Avoid alcohol. Small amoounts can induce sleep initially, bit it disrupts deeper sleep cycles later.
-Avoid tobacco. While smoking might have a calm affect, nicotine is a neurostimulant and can cause sleep problems.
-Avoid caffeine after lunch
-Avoid bacon, cheese, chocolate, eggplant, ham, potatoes, sauerkraut, sugar, sausage, spinach, tomatoes, ans wine before bedtime. These foods containe tyramine, which increases the release of norepinephrine, a brain stimulant.

What's the deal about tyramine ?

I am eating cottage cheese/yoghurt + cocoa before bed..
and I can hardly felt asleep

BTW I am also drinking coffee until 6pm (and strong coffee when doing cardio)

 

[grafix-GNC]

first of all the coffe till 6 thing is too late for you, you need to quit drinking it alot earlier.. second, tyramine is a natural substance formed from the breakdown of protein as food ages. It is found in aged, fermented, or spoiled foods. Generally speaking, the longer a high-protein food ages, the greater the tyramine content. Aged cheeses have the highest levels of tyramine. Tyramine basically causes migraine headaches (6g tyramine, as a rule of thumb) will give you a migraine) and high blood pressure, these all lead to those sleepness nights
