Bobsd, I want to say thanks for mentioning the L-Tyrosine for sleep. I've been taking it morning and night the last 3 days. For the last 2 nights, I've actually woken up to the sound of my alarm, instead of lying there awake for an hour or 2 (or more) before it goes off. I don't know if it was the tyrosine that kept me sleeping well, or the hot yoga class that I took on Wednesday (that was a great night's sleep). But as of today, I find that I'm feeling better during the day than I have been in a long time. I feel more positive and focused. I did some quick research online and it turns out that tyrosine is a good mood stabilizer, and is often used for depression, anxiety and ADHD! So I'm digging it so far. I didn't notice the effects before because I was taking it along with tryptophan.
One thing I have noticed though - when I take it at night, it takes me a lot longer to feel sleepy enough to go to sleep, even though I end up sleeping well once I do fall asleep. Does this happen to you at all? I'm thinking that I'll take the second dose earlier in the day, maybe around 6pm when I get home from work, instead of 10pm and see how that works out.
