Struggling with sleep

So I received some samples from the SuperHuman conference which I disappointly missed.

One sample was :

Somnidren GH  (http://www.millenniumsport.net/) which claims to be:

“Sleep and Growth Hormone Potentiator”

In fact , I couldn’t even find “Potentiator” in the dictionary.   Bad sign.

While I have almost used Millenium’s ZMA.  This supplement definitely had some ingredients that sent my body spinning.  One problem I have right off the top is an overabundance of any one substance especially a B-Vitamin. B-Vitamins are generally related to the energy systems of the body and the last thing I want is HIGH energy at the end of the day.  I want CALM and RECOVERY.

Now granted Ben from Ben Greenfield Fitness took this supplement in conjunction with Natural Calm.  I still had the opposite intended effect.

How To Hack Your Sleep, Beat Insomnia & Get Into A Deep Sleep Phase As Fast As Possible

Here are some of my favorite insomnia natural remedies and sleep supplements:

*-400-500mg potassium citrate combined with 400-500mg Natural Calm magnesium  (use this 30-60 minutes prior to bed, and back off if you get loose stool!). If magnesium upsets your stomach, listen to this podcast about which magnesium is best.

*-2-3 tablespoons MCT Oil or coconut oil 30-60 minutes prior to bed. This works well if appetite cravings keep you awake, but you don’t want an insulin spike from carbohydrates or protein.

-MillenniumSports Somnidren GH (can be very effective, but you must use this on an empty stomach, 30-60 minutes prior to bed, and you have to cycle it as 5 days on, 2 days off so you stay sensitive to it).“

I was restless. Stomach was sour. Strange mental effects and random thoughts without focused tuned mind.

In conclusion, at the first test, I would say Somndren GH is definitely on my list of Sleep Protocol.
