I suppose the eugeroic effects through promotion of orexin synthesis must be fairly minor, or maybe delayed, if your sleep was smoother overall.

Wonder if it’d feel noticeably different on daridorexant, or the other antagonists.

In a similar vein, maybe you could have a peek at lithium ascorbate. Personally doubt it’s meaningfully different from orotate all things considered, and seems that must of the available literature was sponsored by the firm selling it.

I'm happy to give it a try. I'll do some reading and research vendors. Cheers!

Or my reaction is atypical. I've had some unusual reactions to other substances, such as finding magnesium glycinate stimulating to the point where, if I take it at night, I won't sleep at all. It's one of the most powerful wakefulness promoting substances I've tried, and for most people it knocks them right out.
