glycine
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- I’ve been able to improve: My sleep with magnesium bisglycinate and glycine or rarely ornithine
- Glycine or L-theanine are also helpful for middle-of-the-night calm and deeper sleep.
- Try glycine 3g, 2 hours before bed time
- I have had success with glycine eliminating some very mild peripheral neuropathy.
- I've been really liking glycine for sleep, and I notice a difference even with a single 500 mg capsule.
Cons
- Ive been experimenting with glycine before bed to try and improve my sleep quality but man every morning after I've taken it I wake up feeling exhausted and spaced out.
- Glycine gives me terrible insomnia, same with magnesium glycinate. Every time I try either of them, I’m not sleeping until 3am at least
- Just for information and others people's : in some people , magnésium glycinate can trigger anxiety, same with glycine. It's my case sadly.
- I’ve read that Glycine might help, but does it actually improve sleep quality?
- I wish it did for me. Glycine has the opposite effect for me

The single most helpful substance which I never see anyone recommend is Glycine. 6-8g of Glycine an hour before bed knocks me out better than alcohol or prescription drugs ever could.
Supps like NAC, Taurine, Glycine, Vitamins C, E, D, Boswelia, Schisandra help with this as well.
