I would check thyroid levels. Just to make sure that they are not low.

On a lighter note having alot of sex helps too

booze/benzo's will affect the amount of proper sleep you get, if thats the case. If i dont try my hardest im in bed at least 12hrs a day and i hate it.

i agree with cal about getting your thyroid levels checked.

In case your TLs come back alright, I would seriously think about doing a gH cycle for 6 - 8 months or bump it to a year doing 2.5 to 3IUs 5 days on /2 off... that would definitely help, assuming you have no life-threatening health illnesses that the gH could seriously aggravate.

im in the same boat as you, it doesnt matter if i sleep 3 hours or 24, im tired every second of the day and im sick of it

This can be so many things...what is the quality of your sleep? Do you have obstructive sleep apnea? What is age,ht, wt.? Gaining/losing weight? Diet? Caffeine intake? Meds?
How often do you exercise? Do you go to bed/get up at same time every day or have shift changes? Wake up often in the middle of night? Libido? When are you most tired during day? Could have sleep cycle disturbance.
Do you urinate a lot/feel thirsty a lot = symptoms of Diabetes.
Yes definitely check Thyroid TFT's, and Test/Estro if your doc will do it.

There are so many possible causes, and I have hinted at a few....need more info.

I'm the same lately but I've also had a ton of other symptoms. Fatigue that isn't relieved by sleep sucks.

Before I would get 8-10 hours a night and I would have no fatigue issues whatsoever.

I've also lost 13lbs over the past month and a half or so.

I'm gonna have a sleep study done...already have the referal, just need to schedule. I want to wait until I'm off tren cause I don't think they'll be amused at my bp and it could throw other varabiles in. I think I have sleep apnea though, I'm tired all the time. One guy I know has a cpap and says he feels awake for the first time in his life. I've been told by people sleeping in the same room as me I stop breathing for long periods of time and wake myself up constantly.

Others have indicated serious medical problems and they very well be right.

However, and I've said this in other posts, it could simply be dehydration. Around 80% of Americans are chronicly dehydrated. Fatigue is one of the main symptoms of dehydration.

From personal experience I know that when I am not drinking at least 3/4 a gallon of water (on top of whatever water I'm gettig from foods) a day I feel run down.

Can't hurt to try before exploring other options with your doctor. Try it...it sucks pissing all the time at first but your body adjust properly and for the better.

Could be depression.

**mex83** · 09-09-2008, 03:31 PM

Depression thats my 2 cents

**importeater91** · 09-11-2008, 05:50 PM

the past couple days ive noticed ill get up and look at my clock (im just worried im gonna wake up late for work). i also dont drink as much water as much as i used to when i was a civilian. im not sure if i could get tested for that, i had a hard time to just have them look at my toe.

**beefjr22** · 09-11-2008, 06:54 PM

Caffine keeps me awake... I drink somethin called endorush thats the best thing ive drank as far as energy drinks are concerned...but if its some like thyroid or depression then i doubt thats a solution
