Anecdotally, I have found l-theanine supplementation at night to work very well for insomnia and restful sleep.

  Same, though it does seem to make dreams more vivid. Probably important to be careful of dosing. Less may be more.

    Source? If this is true, it would explain a lot for me!

      JRE had someone on recently about neuroscience. He said he cautions people against taking theanine for sleep if they’re prone to sleep walking.

  which brand do you use?

    I typically grab whatever is reasonably priced. Right now I have the NOW branded 100mg capsules. I avoid the larger dosages for reasons mentioned in sibling comments. AFAIK it is not one of the supplements which requires careful brand selection (like a magnesium supplement).
