I'm taking 5-HTP atm so idk if I can mix them
It's not so much like getting to sleep, it's just that my brain wakes me up with all sorts of dumb shit. Like Sunday night I woke up considering the fact that by not defeating a certain boss on my last playthrough of Dark Souls, I had created a time paradox within the narrative. I then spent hours figuring out how the plot could make sense despite that boss not being slain. (I figured it out in the end, thankfully)
Tbh I think it's just work-related anxiety. But also sobriety and quitting smoking is blowing my brain tf up with painful, never-ending clarity, so I can also be woken up by dreams. My dream cycles are all out of whack, deep REM often happening just hours after falling asleep
It's cool I only ever self-medicate, 5-HTP is just some weird supplement that increases serotonin in the old brainpan. It's meant to help with sleep, but I can't really tell what it's doing rn because regardless of whether I take it, my sleep is weird, assumedly due to the extreme levels of sobriety I'm experiencing
