I’ve been thinking of buying a light box to use in the morning to boost my serotonin.

The biggest thing is to accept and stop worrying, once you have calmed yourself into acceptance the sleep will happen
I have no idea what 5HTP is, so must read up

I'm getting a bit desperate, not being able to get to sleep at the moment and I was wondering if anyone had tried 5HTP and whether it had helped.
I belive it is a Seratonin precursor but don't know much else about it.
Can anyone help?
