The way you describe it, I feel like I'm setting myself up for a crazy addiction to some sort of naturopathic god-like psychotic drug.

I feel like phenibut might be a good option for me, because I feel like I really only need it for two days of the week when I'd be crazy sleep deprived and need the energy to workout/lift heavy weights the day after.
If you only use it 2 days a week, there's no way you could build a tolerance to it or get addicted. It is not a 'natural' supplement though. It is a flat out drug.

I take 250mg a day, every night. At a low steady dose, there are also no concerns. It doesn't have a major noticeable effect, but it helps stay relaxed and night, and helps to fall asleep.

About a week or 2 a month, I run into problems sleeping more than 6-7 hours.. Not sure where this comes from. Probably lack of exercise
