We could all use some help getting quality sleep from time to time – especially during the busy, stressful holiday season. Thankfully, an amino acid called 5-HTP has been proven to increase your time spent in deep, restorative sleep by 53%. And there are no side effects! To get the benefits, I recommend taking 100 mg. of 5-HTP 30 minutes before bedtime. Tip: If you don’t get results the first night, increase your dose by 50 mg. each night (up to 300 mg.) until you find the dose that works for you.
