Day 7, Sunday - Pretty good once again, 1 week - last night of using 5-HTP… O.o let’s see :face_with_monocle:

Slept 10h40! (plus 6x5’=30’ breaks, no vivid dreams, no seizures). Bit weary.

Ooh, I must say: the hot electric blanket may not be organic and thus suffocate my skin a bit, but as my wife likes a room temp of 19°C/66°F I do often need something more than a hoodie to keep me warm and it was just a brilliant help. Thinking of using at work when my/the window’s wide open, but it might have a place at home, too…

Cheating a bit: May not’ve been able to do that much today, but it’s a gloomy Sunday, so I’m making myself comfy anyway and not counting it as not-good. Going outside maybe wd’ve helped.

My thoughts on 5-HTP for more melatonin for more serotonin in @Starr1’s thread:

Picamilon against hyperlipidemia (high blood fats)(?)

is said to help against hyperlipidemia (probably only inferred from niacin), which reminds me that my lipoprotein a levels are far too high, triglycerids a bit, and I haven’t tried niacin, carnitin and ginkgo against that yet (which may be due to needing xylite chewing gum for my teeth/dry mouth, altho I am using a bit of sugar again, esp. now at Christmas…). Just mailed my lipidologist about this, cos she works for the university who’d done research about this.
