GABA does cross the BBB to some degree. There's a decent review on examine.com
Years ago (>10yr ago), a friend had a shitload of GABA that he gave me for free. I tried taking it before training - that was a no go b/c it made me quite drowsy, so that's my personal experience with it. I was taking gram amounts, though. When I take the TN sleep aid combo (I take more than what is recommended on he label), I get the same tingly feelings paresthesia I used to get when taking GABA, which I attributed to GABA.
So, that's an option to consider.
(Seems a theme this week here on the board has been trying stuff out for yourself to some degree. Getting good sleep is definitely an area where setting up a personalized routine can be important. )

This is great info thank you. There is a 6 Oz tub of GABA for sale on amazon right now, so I think that qualifies as a shit load lol. So I think I will grab that and keep bumping up my calories as well. My sleep seems to suffer more on non training days so I think I will increase there as well as on training days and hopefully things will improve.
