Seems like there is probably an opportunity, to be honest I would prefer something to drink over a glass of water and a pill on the nights I struggle to get into a restful place.

This works fairly well. They have one called Bliss that’s calming too.

The drink will contain 10% of the daily value of magnesium and 200 grams of L-theanine.

There was a local place that made Drank in a purple can. Tasted pretty good. Ingredients included rose hips, melatonin, and valerian root.

L Theanine is nothing new. It's an effective ingredient.

Neuro already did.

How about a couple of beers and a melatonin?

At the recommendation of ARFCOM in a post a few months ago, I started popping two L-theanine capsules at bedtime. I suffer from chronic anxiety and have a lot of stress at work and home.

My sleep has improved vastly. Intense lengthy dreams at times.

This dude I used to work with that supposedly had bad anxiety issues. Like he'd borderline shit himself and spend an hour in the bathroom dry heaving, panicking and shit. He started drinking these things called Drank, they have melatonin in them.

Anyways, this fucker was like 95 lbs soaking wet with full pockets holding a sack of potatoes, he was a short little skinny dude, and after he had one of these things and I could have cut him in half with a band saw and he wouldn't have felt a thing. I had to call his wife one day to come get his ass because I didn't feel comfortable with him driving a forklift after drinking one of these things, I told him he better take up yoga or cigarettes or something to kick that anxiety, and don't drink those fucking things while he's at work.

Does it need 8 hours of sleep like Melatonin or sleep meds? I only have time for about 5 hours during the work week and I have a hard time falling asleep. I'd love something that would help me sleep faster and deeper but allow me to get up in 5 hours without being half-asleep and dopey for a few hours.

There has been an uptick in ads for night time gummies for kids and adults. Trying to put sheeple to sleep. Jk, I feel bad for people who cant sleep, I'm out immediately.

An amino acid and a mineral. Magnesium can give the shits but 40mg won't do shit. This is snake oil designed to empty fools' pockets.

I only work three scheduled days per week. The shortest possible day is 13.5 hours. Its regularly 15, sometimes more, and my commute is 45 minutes each way on a perfect day. And I need to eat and shower and do daily stuff.

In theory I get 4 days off, but almost every week I have to cover some other supervisor's shift, or go to training, or the range, or get called out for protestor BS, or whatever.

And I'm one of those people that can't just lay down and sleep immediately, I have active mind sleep issues.

I'd love something to knock me out, but I need to be alert when I get up in three to six hours. Melatonin helps me sleep, but I get up very groggy for a few hours.
