Hi,
I'm having trouble getting up in the morning; The alarm wakes me up, but I will easily go back to sleep without much control over it. I'm using a wake-up-light plus my phone; It's been like this almost my whole life.
I'm using glycine sources, which (after some intial problems in the past) make me feel better. I can tolerate powder, mag glycinate and collagen, but usually I only take collagen.
However, too much glycine make getting up almost impossible. I've stopped taking it before bed, but even taken in meals in the late afternoon will knock me out in the morning. Too much is below 10 g over the day (I've tracked it as exact as aposible on cronometer).
I've thought about possible causes and came up with this:
a) Cortisol doesn't rise enough
b) it's related to glycine's role in methylation
c) it's related to it's role as an inhibitory neurotransmitter
a) and c) could be the same thing, I guess.
Any ideas what could be done about it (except taking even less glycine)?
Thanks.
