Wow... Speaking of sleep, I just remembered part of a dream I had last night... Basicly I was aligning the colour convergence on my monitor. Isn't that rather nerdy? Yikes. Where the heck is my pocket protector?

Speaking of dreams, anyone else have fucked up dreams for a few days after NYE?

Health food stores I'm not sure about. You can find them at all the supplement stores like GNC though. They usually come in 3 mg tablets, and 1 is usually enough... some people say they're habit-forming but I've never found that.

Dreams... ecch, my dreams have all been shitty lately. But usually I don't remember them, so maybe that's how they always are. Personally, I wouldn't mind going back to not remembering.

I've seen them at Shoppers and Pharmaplus.

thanks for the tips on where to find the pills guys

i use to have vivid dreams. i would remember every single detail and sometimes leave me with some sort of emotional feeling. one time i woke up and i was crying and upset. it was strange but interesting at the same time. keep in mind though that during the time i was getting about 8+hours of sleep.

now i barely remember my dreams. probably due to work related stress and lack of sleep. haha. but i love dreaming though. especially trying to analyze what it all means.

work will not be fun tomorrow.

i'm starting to feel like the only one who didn't go to ultra spin tonite.

and as usual, i'm up late. always trying to make the most out of my weekends!

Insomnia!

My doctor writes me Rx's for various benzodiazepines (sedatives). However they are only good for temporary alleviation of insomnia, and the rebound effects are very prevalent with this type of drug. My doctor wanted to try another route with me. One of the symptoms of serotonin deficiency syndrome is in fact insomnia. Poor diet can spell less of the essential amino acid L-Tryptophan. (It's in milk, turkey, etc). Essential amino acids are essential because the body can't create them it's self, and relys on external sources.

As previously stated, L-Tryptophan is one of the essential amino-acids which in turn gets converted to 5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP); 5-HTP is the direct precursor to serotonin (5-HT). And we all know serotonin plays a critical role in how we feel, and also sleep.

In the United States L-Tryptophan was banned by the FDA due to a fatal contamination linked to a Japanese company manufacturing L-Tryptophan. Reportedly this Japanese company tried to speed up their production by using genetic engineering. L-Tryptophan is still legal in Canada, and for the Americans 5-HTP can still be sold in the US.

L-Tryptophan is reportedly superior to 5-HTP as 5-HTP is converted to serotonin in the stomach, and this causes some gastro-intestinal upset (there are quite a few serotonin receptors in the gastro-intestinal tract) and means there is less 5-HT available where it's needed most, the brain. In order to help you with mood and insomnia L-Tryptophan must pass through the blood brain barrier where it can be decarboxylased into 5-HT.

I take 4g (yes grams) of L-Tryptophan at bedtime. And with my drug plan, it's 100% covered. (You can't beat that!)

So if you are having trouble sleeping and/or have mood issues, then L-Tryptophan might be right for you. It's natural (basically a supplement) and going the SSRI and/or benzodiazepine route probably creates more damage/trouble than it's worth.

Oh, and be sure to take a B vitamin complex with L-Tryptophan. If you are B3 deficient the L-Tryptophan will be converted to B3 instead of 5-HT! B6 quashes a toxic metabolite of L-Tryptophan that could cause bladder cancer. And if memory serves me correctly, one of the B vitamins helps get L-Tryptophan though the blood brain barrier.

Melatonin (5-methoxy-N-acetyltryptamine) is also a derivative of the amino acid tryptophan.

See my previous comment on L-Tryptophan supplementation for promoting good mood and sleep.
