Taking 3 grams of glycine before bed might work differently than sleeping pills like benzodiazepines for improving sleep.

Scientific Claim

Ingestion of 3 grams of glycine before bedtime is associated with different effects on sleep quality compared to traditional hypnotic drugs such as benzodiazepines in individuals with chronic unsatisfactory sleep.

Source Excerpt

Thus, a bolus ingestion of glycine before bedtime seems to produce subjective and objective improvement of the sleep quality in a different way than traditional hypnotic drugs such as benzodiazepines.
