Taking 3 grams of glycine before bed might work differently than sleeping pills like benzodiazepines, based on how it affects sleep without changing sleep stages.
Scientific Claim
Ingestion of 3 grams of glycine before bedtime is associated with a different mechanism of action compared to traditional hypnotic drugs such as benzodiazepines in individuals with chronic sleep dissatisfaction.
