Development:
Jab-sfx: Showering at 22:40 was painful and cost a lot of effort.
Research-search today: When to take ALA isn’t that easy, most help here: I’d only read to take ALA away from meals, now I’m looking at the nitty-gritty and it’s much more complicated…: Insomnia can be a side effect (that might explain the 1h40 break… but not the 4h40 deep sleep stint after that… but It can improve blood pressure and blood flow, maybe that was it? So in mornings better with meals if you didn’t need that, also with L-carnitine it can improve alertness and brain fog, one study (by Mhadavi, 2021) shows dose dependency … enhanced endurance & strength during exercise … can make you tired with higher doses by increasing glucose uptake and decreasing blood sugar (maybe it’s high for me, as 2nd time, last yesterday midday) … that’s all from the un-winder.com about ALA before bed, they say: praps.)
