Thanks! Would you say the benefits for you are exclusive to that? I ask because the anectodal evidence and all vary so much. I like asking a real person. Some of what is out there is skepitical at the least.

See above.

It's just a general mood enhancer. And by enhanced, I mean relaxed. I have taken during the day when I've had too much caffeine and stress in my life as well.

My sleep problem has always been that once my eyes open for any reason, my brain kicks on and won't turn off. It helps a lot in this regard. I find magnesium and zinc really help with this too in different ways. Magnesium helps restless leg a bit and zinc helps the body absorb magnesium.

ETA:

I'll throw in some Valerian Root at night as well occasionally nd every morning I take L-Theanine.

ETA2:

I understand you just want to be healthy and high cortisol levels are very unhealthy in a lot of ways. Ashwaghanda helps with that.
