Sigismund,
The main thing that the TA-65 seems to do sleep wise is help me wake up earlier. I've been sleeping from around 1 to 7 a.m. as of late and haven't had the problem of falling asleep and waking up later and later with each passing day like I was for a while. The TA-65 might be helping to reduce my need for sleep a little too much, but I don't mind getting six hours of sleep a night instead of seven or eight hours. I do feel somewhat sleepier during the day than I did before I started taking TA-65, but the sleepiness is mild, and I think it's worth feeling a bit sleepy to experience the benefits that I'm experiencing now.
I will say that even though the TA-65 seems to be reducing my need for sleep and helping me to wake up earlier, it isn't making it any harder for me to initiate sleep or causing me to wake up more during the night. If anything, I actually find falling asleep to be somewhat easier now that I'm taking TA-65, compared with how things were before I started taking the supplement.
How would you characterize your insomnia? Do you have trouble falling asleep, trouble staying asleep, problems with waking up too early, or a combination of these problems? Have you found any of the treatments that you've tried for your insomnia to be at all helpful?
