Taking 3 grams of glycine before bed might help people spend more time actually sleeping compared to time spent in bed.

Glycine ingestion at 3 grams before bedtime is associated with increased sleep efficacy (sleep time/in-bed time) in individuals with chronic sleep dissatisfaction, as measured by polysomnography.
Source Excerpt
