Your brain needs serotonin → to make melatonin → to make you sleep

🎯 What is 5-HTP?

5-HTP is the direct precursor to serotonin. It skips the line, crosses into your brain without competition, and converts straight to serotonin.

70% absorption rate vs 1-3% from food. Game changer.

✅ DAYS 1-7: The Setup Phase

Dosage: 50mg, 60 min before bed

What happened:

• Day 1-3: Nothing (patience, young grasshopper)
• Day 4-5: Slight nausea (took on empty stomach - rookie mistake)
• Day 6-7: Started falling asleep 15 min faster

Sleep score: 4/10 → 5/10

🔵 DAYS 8-14: The Breakthrough

Dosage: 100mg, 60 min before bed (increased dose)

What happened:

• Falling asleep in 20-25 minutes (used to be 90+ min)
• Only waking up 1-2 times instead of 5-6
• Dreams became VIVID (not bad, just intense)
• Morning mood noticeably better

Sleep score: 5/10 → 7/10

💎 DAYS 15-21: The Sweet Spot

Dosage: 100mg (maintained)

What happened:

• Consistent 7-8 hours of sleep
• Waking up BEFORE my alarm (what is this sorcery?)
• Afternoon energy crashes disappeared
• Stopped stress-eating at night

Sleep score: 7/10 → 8/10

🏆 DAYS 22-30: The New Normal

Dosage: 100mg (maintained)

What happened:

• Sleep became automatic - no more "trying" to sleep
• Mood stable throughout the day
• Social anxiety way down
• Lost 3 pounds without trying (less late-night snacking)

Sleep score: 8/10 → 9/10

📋 The Stack

🚫 DO NOT TAKE IF:

• You're on antidepressants (SSRIs, MAOIs, etc.) - SERIOUS drug interaction
• You're pregnant or nursing
• You take migraine meds (triptans)
• You have serotonin syndrome history

This is not negotiable. Talk to your doctor first.

⚡ Common Side Effects (And How to Fix Them)

😵 Nausea: Take with food (small snack)
💭 Vivid dreams: Normal, usually cool, sometimes weird
😴 Morning grogginess: Lower dose to 50mg
🤢 Headache: Drink more water, lower dose

✅ Unexpected Benefits:

• Appetite control: Stopped craving junk food at night
• Mood stability: No more 3 PM crashes
• Social anxiety: Way less overthinking in groups
• Pain tolerance: Chronic back pain improved
• Alcohol tolerance: Needed less to feel relaxed

Q: Will I get addicted?
A: No. It's not addictive. But you'll probably want to keep taking it because it works.

Q: Can I take it with melatonin?
A: You can, but try 5-HTP alone first. It might be enough.

Q: What if I miss a night?
A: You'll probably notice. Your sleep won't be as good. Just take it the next night.

Q: How long until it works?
A: Most people notice changes in 7-14 days. Give it a full 30 days.

Q: Can I take more than 100mg?
A: You can go up to 200-300mg, but start low. More isn't always better.

If you're tired of being tired, if you've tried everything else, if you just want to sleep like a normal human being...

Try 5-HTP for 30 days.

Worst case: You're out $25.
Best case: You just fixed your sleep forever.
