I used to take a sleep Recovery product (i cant remember what it was) it was banned in Australia, but it made me have the best sleeps of my life.

Does anyone have anything they could suggest?

Edit,

The banned suppliment was fadeout by redcon1

Yeah it’s not nearly the same unfortunately.

I have been having some similar sleep aid teas, they just don’t hit as hard

Can you double up the strength of the tea? 2-3 tea bags of chamomile? Non-sleep deep relaxation from huberman lab may help?

Magnesium and l-theanine seem to help me get to sleep. I use low dose maletonin also, but only as needed, as I seem to build a tolerance to it (low dose = like .75mg, anything higher makes me feel super groggy in the morning).

Not sure if you already take creatine but it helps my recovery out quite a bit. It won’t help much in terms of sleep though, might try magnesium for that.

Yeah creatine is a must for anyone in my opinion,

My dr said to stay away from magnesium because of my blood pressure unfortunately

I don’t have a supplement to recommend but I think a cold shower after a heavy sesh does wonders.

I’m roasting in bed after legs or back + deadlift otherwise.

Then again, I also train quite late in a day so it’s probably more of a me problem.

I was about to moan about how shitty and humid England is in the summer but I don’t think it really stacks up 😅

Still enough to keep me up at night though. Like you, I’ll have a couple cold quick rinses after training.
