Not much has been said on the subject of recovering from heavy nights out.  We all know that a night of heavy partying usually equals a sleepless night and/or massive headache the next day, but there are, thankfully, certain precautions that can be taken.

Taking a pill containing 5-HTP with your high has an incredible multi-dimensional effect. Firstly the 5-HTP converts to serotonin in your body, meaning that your high is much clearer and more pronounced, but also that it gives your body a big fluffy cushion, so your come down is much softer and gentler.  I’ve found two different pills that have this incredible ingredient; Elevate from Lightyears Pills and Serotonin 5-HTP from The Herbal High.

Need to sleep after a night out but feeling totally unable to do so? Never mind, there’s an all natural answer to that as well! Valerian is a great gentle sedative that inhibits the breakdown of GABA, a chemical transmitter in the brain. This helps decrease activity in the nervous system, which in turn can aid the promotion of a deeper, more relaxing and restful sleep. Absolutely ideal if you know you have to be rested the next day but are still totally wired.

Finally what about the next day? You wake up in the morning, and to quote from Withnail and I you feel like a pig has shat in your head.  I have found an incredible pill called Recovery. This wonder pill contains an incredible mix of vitamins and minerals that are typical of the ones your body loses during a night of heavy partying. Replace those vitamins and minerals and you’ll be well on your way to a full and speedy recovery! (Maybe a couple of paracetamol will help here too.)
