I had been struggling with my sleep for months, it started with odd hours and then turned into full on insomnia. Felt like a waking corpse who only existed to suffer. I saw on TikTok girls were doing tart cherry juice before bed, but I’m an insulin conscious girly so I decided to try the extract in pill form instead. This solved my sleep issues in the first night. I don’t wake up groggy after either, which usually happens for me with other sleep aids. I take the Carlyle brand, but usually only take two capsules before bed, and I often take it in combination with valerian root and magnesium and I sleep like a cherub angel all the night.

I know sleepy girl magnesium cocktails are all the rage but I need something quick. These work like a charm even with my bad sleep hygiene (scrolling right before bed)

this was partially my first rec. It’s the supplements (and now medication) I take in the morning, and now into the afternoon and evening. it’s my elixir that keeps me calm+energized, somehow.
Elixir:
Morning: L-theanine first. 5-HTP after breakfast, along with biotin for hair growth and, finally, between days 14-28 of my menstrual cycle: fluoxetine. (For pms if that isn’t clear)
Afternoon; magnesium citrate gummy (two) that i got from the grocery store near my house. The only other place I found them was at erewhon?? So obvi had to cop if not just for the reminder of home (lol).
Evening: hour before bed I take a magnesium pill. it gets me sooo ready for sleep. Sometimes I just do this but other times I’ll also take two valerian capsules, which help a lot with sleep but it doesn’t have melatonin in it which is ideal.
This may seem crazy/a lot but that’s what post grad life is like babe 😆😆 , and it’s helping w this transition 🙈🙈

Bags, that is. I saw this hack online and tried it - bring home a bag of kale or spinch or whathaveyou, take a single paper towel, fold it once and put it in the bag and just leave it in there. I don’t know why or how but it makes it not go bad. It’s probably science, but I prefer to think of it as magic.
