 It started a few weeks ago, then I thought I'll give it a more extensive try. A few weeks ago I was looking for something calming and helping me sleep, occasionally. I ended up getting Gaba. Combining it with Melatonin is quite powerful: I get very sleepy in about one hour after taking 750mg Gaba and 5mg Melatonin. Melatonin alone is too weak for me; especially, if I don't force myself to lie down and not pick up my phone I miss the short window and do not sleep at all; I even had insomnia after taking Melatonin. So, Gaba + Melatonin seems like a great match. 

Other items on the stack:

  • Omega-3: that is safe and has no particular reason to take; seems like the essential component of any biohacking stack. I'll give it a try taking daily 1g with breakfast and 1g with dinner daily.
  • L-Carnitine: it's advertised as for losing weight (which I don't need), but people say it's also good for morning energy in general. I wanna give it a try and combine with exercise, and biking more this spring. I'll try 1g with breakfast daily.
  • Caffeine: I've been drinking coffee for many years, one in the morning and one after lunch, occasionally a third. It seems like a trend now: many people get off coffee these days and say they like it. I still don't believe them, but I want to try. Michael Pollan on Rogan's show says some interesting things about getting off caffeine for a few months: to realize how powerful the drug is. Anyway, I'm thinking of reducing it to one cup in the morning.
  • L-Theanine: taking it occasionally with a second coffee, if I need to drink a second coffee, occasionally
  • Gaba+Melatonin: when I need a good sleep, but feel overly excited in the evening, occasionally.

I will see how it goes.
