I take night time ZMA (melatonin, etc). Hands down its the best thing to help my training. I'm not sure if the ZMA does anything, but I sleep like a baby and am typically fresh even on less sleep. Prior to using it I had issues sleeping, not quite insomnia, but enough that it affected training.I'm taking tryptophan and some casein protien right before bed and I sleep like a baby. Whey and some bcaa's during the day. High quality fish oil before bed.
Any benefits using meatonin vs tryptophan? I read that tryptophan from food/supplements, our bodies convert it to 5-HTP (5-hyrdoxytryptophan), and then to serotonin, melatonin. Wonder if it's better to take something at the beginning of the process or something at the end (melatonin)
