I find that this helps me to sleep deeper and if I awaken I am able to get back to sleep.

Have been using this for a couple of years as a natural anti depressant. NO SIDE EFFECTS and is not addictive like prescription meds. I work in a health food store and recommend this to customers looking for mood support, appetite control, sleep aid, etc.

I have a life-long serotonin deficiency ( depression some hypomania) that I manage more effectively with supplements than drugs. Tryptophan is central to this management. I find one capsule does not do anything (with single amino acids you have to achieve a certain threshold of concentration over and above the general amino acid pool to have an effect). 2-3 capsules last thing at night significantly elevates my serotionin, causing deep sleep and improved mental health the next day. Taken with juice or a little carbohydrate improves effectiness. Continuous daily dosing can over produce serotonin causing daytime drowsiness. Missing out a day regularly prevents this. For me every second day works perfectly. Individulize your own dose your are looking for refreshing sleep and elevated mood without drowsiness the next day. With severe depression you may increase the dose and accept a little drowsiness.

Made my wife drowsy, but the sleep quality was poor. The grogginess would continue all through the morning until the afternoon. This was on only 1 tablet per night.
