AMP is used in medicine to relieve nerve pain from shingles, muscle pain, regulate rapid pulse rates, and to induce sleep. It has been used to treat multiple sclerosis and photo sensitivity. It is non prescription and not expensive.

I bought 5 grams on ebay for about $40. Its used by putting it under the tongue, I try for 50mg eyeballing it. Its not toxic so it won't hurt you if you use too much. I've been using it for about 2 weeks but not every night. Its not a knockout drug like benzos or ambien can be but does not have the nasty side effects those drugs have. I get a kind of fuzzy feeling and feel a little sleepy. They say your levels of it are lowest in the morning and rise toward the end of the day and contribute to making you want to sleep. It feels pleasant, not a chemical feeling like you get from some other compounds. Its created normally in the body. I take it about an hour before bed, it has a slightly savory or umami taste and is not bad. It is not absorbed well by swallowing. 

It may have more health benefits than we know about so far. Its considered an inhibitory peptide, slows down the heart, lowers blood pressure and brings a sleepy feeling. I have been using it along with regular sleep aids like medical mj. Paradoxically, it is said to increase energy. This is likely because it gets converted into atp which is an energy molecule.
