Why you think it is that way? Could it be that by sustained release you maintain higher serum vitamin C longer throughout sleep, which drops very fast if taken at the same amount of regular vitamin C? However, having higher levels maintained for longer could also be accomplished with higher doses of ascorbic acid powder. I would experiment.

I'm not sure. I've always been extremely sensitive to medication and supplements. Niacin and melatonin used to give me issues too (when I could take them), but the time-release versions were much more gentle and calming for sleep purposes.
