How do you add to a sleep stack?
Hi, I'm planning to start a sleep stack by adding one of these supplements every 3-4 weeks:
- Melatonin (microdose when needed)
- Magnesium Glycinate
- Magnesium L-Theronate
- L-Theanine
I think this is a pretty classic stack, but I'm wondering how to go about adding more to it/switching things out if I were to experiment with optimization. What is your process for going about it? I'm a bit afraid of overdoing things.
These are the supplements I'd want to try out:
- Apigenin
- Tryptophan
- 5-HTP
- Vallerian root
- Lemon balm
- Passion flower
- Skullcap
My endgame is to keep the stack simple but optimized, so perhaps 3-5 supplements at most. Should I just replace the experiment supplements one after another after a few weeks to see what works best?
