Really? That's interesting, but I guess just proves that different substances affect us all differently. I very rarely get over 5 hours of sleep, and I've found that GABA/ZMA before bed helps me get better sleep for that short time and leaves me feeling much more refreshed in the morning. I used to have to set at least 2 alarms and put the clock across the room so I had to get up to turn it off. Now, I wake up 2 minutes before the alarm half the time and get up to turn it off before it has a chance to disturb my g/f and baby.
