This meant it was
relatively easy to get the baby napping during that 2 - 3

Since glutathione and cysteine concentrations are
relatively low in the post-absorptive state, especially in older individuals, NAC is best taken early in the morning and before retiring for the night — several
hours after consumption of the evening meal to ensure a postabsorptive state (i.e., that
normal insulin signaling in response to food intake is not occurring).
