3am. Wide awake. Too hot, then too cold. Mind racing. If this is your night, this list was made for you.

My notes of “caused anxiety” were a much more uncomfortable experience than two words imply and took several days to undo by stopping all supplements and then later adding back in the ones that appeared safe for me personally.
