People should know that elevated glycine levels may be toxic to the brain! I believe that I have created brain damage due to overuse of glycine.

I suffer from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and anxiety. I take atenolol for the rapid heart rate and 1/4 teaspoon of this for anxiety.

Seems to have opposite effect - makes me wide awake instead of making me sleepy.

Comment:
I have suffered with sleeping issues for a long time (acting out on nightmares & inability to get deep restorative sleep). Glycine has definitely helped me get more restful deep sleep without the nightmares. I no longer feel exhausted during the day. (Been using Glycine sticks by Metabolic Maintenance. I have no affiliation with the company but do recommend them.)
