Since you warned me about taking 1 g per day of L-theanine I’ve decreased the dose to 400 mg per day. I was feeling a little anxious yesterday (I’m tapering off of Xanax), so I took 600 mg, but it seems that if I take it too close to bedtime I can’t fall asleep (fell asleep at 4:00 AM, and had to wake up at 7:00 AM (Monday and Thursday the garbage man…sorry…the sanitation engineer comes at 8:00 AM-- can’t put garbage out at night due to coyotes)).
Does it bother your sleep if you take it near bedtime?
I used to take it (400mg) at 12 noon and 6pm and had no problem sleeping. Now that I’m only taking it at 12 noon, I too get to sleep around 3am.
Today I took it at 12 and 6, so it’ll be interesting to see how it affects my sleep.
Also, like I said, tomorrow I’m just going to take 400mg again but will take it at 6pm, so again it’ll be interesting to see if that time change makes any difference.
