Insomnia and whey protein
Posted: Mon Dec 16, 2019 10:21 am
I found out a while ago that half a dose of whey protein (15-20 grams, regular protein marketed for muscle building, SCITEC brand) helps me fall asleep if I consume it about 30 minutes before going to bed. I have been able to do without for half a year, but my insomnia returned recently and once again I'm falling back to this magic potion.
I'm not happy taking it because I try to do intermittent fasting and it's full of stuff that I'm trying to avoid (like artificial sweeteners and flavors). At least it's low carb...
Any idea what the magic ingredient is that makes me fall asleep? Taurine maybe?
