😴 Sleep Stack Protocol
---
⚠️ Start Here
> Insomnia doesn’t just happen for no reason.
This isn’t just about sleep — it’s about getting your system back into rhythm.
Use as needed. Avoid regular use if possible.
Rotation may help. Pay attention to how you respond.
---
✅ Core Sleep Stack
Start here. Try one thing at a time.
You don’t need to stack unless it’s not working.
Begin with any of the three core supplements.
Choose the one that feels right, then stack others if needed —
in whatever order fits your response.
---
🧪 1. Magnesium Glycinate
Start with: 100 mg (1 capsule)
Titrate to: 400 mg (up to 4 capsules)
Take: 30–45 min before bed
With: Light snack
If you get:
Loose stools → lower dose
Wired feeling → stop (paradoxical activation)
Note:
Don’t take in the morning for sleep support.
---
🧪 2. Melatonin
Start with: 1 mg
Titrate to: 2–3 mg if needed
Emergency reset: 10–20 mg once (only after multiple nights of no sleep)
Take: 30 min before bed
Stomach: Works best on an empty stomach — if you’ve eaten, wait 30 min or bump dose
slightly.
Side Effects:
Grogginess
Vivid dreams
Emotional dullness if overused
---
🧪 3. CBD:THC Gummy (1:1)
Start with: 2.5 mg CBD + 2.5 mg THC
Titrate to: 5–10 mg each
Take: ~60 min before bed
Strain: Indica or products labeled “Sleep” or “Calm”
Avoid: Anything labeled “Creative” or “Energy”
Then:
30 min before bed → take magnesium + melatonin with a light snack
Notes:
If you feel anxious or paranoid → stop
Light stomach works best
Tolerance builds fast — don’t use nightly long-term
---
🔁 If/Then Adjustments
Can’t stop thinking? → Add L-theanine (100–200 mg)
Fall asleep fine, wake up at 3 AM? → Add glycine (3g) + hydrate
3+ nights of broken sleep? → Use the 10 mg melatonin reset once
THC makes you edgy? → Skip it, try magnesium + lemon balm instead
---
🧪 Optional Add-On Tools
Use only if the Core Stack isn’t cutting it.
Try one at a time.
Chamomile tea — 1–2 bags, steep strong
Lemon balm — calming herb
Glycine — 3g, helps cool core body temp
L-Theanine — 100–200 mg, calming for mental chatter or THC side effects
> 🔸 Don’t try everything at once.
🔸 Add only if sleep is still disrupted after a few nights.

🧭 Sleep Stack Titration Flow
Start anywhere → titrate slowly → only add if needed.
---
🔹 Option A: Magnesium Glycinate
✅ 100 mg
→ Increase to 200 mg
→ Increase to 300 mg
→ Max: 400 mg (as tolerated)
Take with a light snack, 30–45 min before bed.
---
🔹 Option B: Melatonin
✅ 1 mg (30 min before bed)
→ Increase to 2 mg
→ Max: 3 mg (standard ceiling)
→ Rare override: 10–20 mg once if severely sleep-deprived
Best on an empty stomach. If taken with food, wait 30 min or slightly increase dose.
---
🟰 You can start with either — or test both separately.
Only titrate one at a time so you know what’s working.
---
🔹 Option C: CBD:THC Gummy (1:1 Ratio)
✅ 2.5 mg CBD + 2.5 mg THC
→ Increase to 5 mg each
→ Max: 10 mg each
Take 60 minutes before bed.
Then take melatonin + magnesium 30 minutes before bed with a small snack.
---
🔹 Optional Final Layer (Add one only if needed)
→ Chamomile tea
→ Lemon balm tea
→ Glycine – 3g
→ L-Theanine – 100–200 mg
Use only if the core stack isn’t working after a few nights.
Don’t stack more than one at a time.

⚠️ Medication Interactions (If Relevant)
Magnesium Glycinate
Interferes with some antibiotics (doxy, cipro) — separate by 2–4 hrs
May affect magnesium levels if on diuretics
Avoid if you have significant kidney disease
Melatonin
Can interact with blood thinners (e.g. warfarin) at high doses
May lower seizure threshold slightly
Can counteract immunosuppressants (stimulates immune system)
---
🧠 Final Word
This protocol is the start.
If sleep doesn’t return, something else is out of rhythm.
That’s when deeper mapping becomes necessary.
