I was taking 50mg Apigenin and 400mg L-Theanine before bed, about 30 minutes before I lay down. I wanted to experiment to see if it was actually helping me fall asleep faster. I haven't noticed a difference since stopping. However this may be related to me now taking Magnesium Glycinate 30 minutes earlier than I was.

I also got a new brand of Magnesium Glycinate, NOW, which is a Tablet and not a capsule like the old brand I was taking (California GOLD Nutrition, aka iHerb brand). Since it is a tablet, I am taking it about an hour before I go to bed instead of 30 minutes. I'm falling asleep basically instantly now. I do notice less vivid dreams when I don't take L-Theanine though.

I also wear Blue Blocker glasses from 4 hours before bed until I go to sleep. I start with orange pair and then switch to a darker orange/red pair about an hour or two before bed.
