What Causes Drowsiness While On L-Tryptophan?

I took L-Tryptophan 500mg for insomnia for the first time 2 nights ago, It seemed to allow me to sleep fairly soundly most of the night. The 2nd night I took it I became drowsy but did not sleep, felt as though I was anxious, is it possible 500mg is too much for my system?
