Re: Sleep and adrenal fatigue

Also go to this thread called adrenals + sleep and read it all because there are good answers by HV.

I paste here some comments from HV in that thread that are concerning hawthorne and the pounding heart:

If you are going to use hawthorne make sure it is a combination of the flowers, leaves and berry.  The flowers are the strongest, but are not sold alone.  And the leaves work synergistically with the flowers and berries.

The pounding heart would indicate an excess of epinephrine being released.  I see you are taking ashwagandha already, which is a natural beta blocker (blocks excess epinephrine release).  You could try increasing your dosage, especially before going to bed.  Glycine can also help with keeping you calm.  Acetylcholine, produced from choline, is the balance to epinephrine.  Choline can be taken in small amounts as a supplement, choline bitartrate, or lecithin granules provide phosphatidylcholine, another choline source.
