Taking steroids at night

**purple-ronnie** · 10-10-2007, 10:45 PM

Hi, a friend of mine suggested to me that taking steroids at night b4 bed is more beneficial to muscle growth as most of you changes happen while you sleep. i cant seem to find anything to back this coment up, anyone know if this is true?

**dece870717** · 10-10-2007, 10:55 PM

You know I was never really sure about this either, like if running a cycle maybe do some of your Var or Dbol or whatever dose during the day and then take rest of it before bed to help be very anabolic while you sleep and recover. Not sure to tell you the truth. You could I guess also argue about taking your short ester roids like maybe suspension after your workouts, don't know. Someone that would know chime in please.

I wouldn't take orals before bed... seems like they pump me up too much to go to sleep.

come on experts!!

i cant imagine that any long estered product would do anything more for you at night. Something even like an acetate ester i coudnt see heping, but as far as orals what esters do they have? Maybe they could?? Interesting question.

Ok, so there might not be any benifit from taking/injecting at night but would it be any less effective?

**Dizz28** · 10-11-2007, 10:24 PM

My personal opinion is that they are benificial to take before going to sleep. Orals or none estered injects like Test suspension. You do the most of your growth and recovery while you sleep. That's why it's also a good idea to get some slow digesting protein in you before you go to bed. Orals don't usually effect my ability to fall asleep. I take ambien anyway so it wouldn't matter

**buffgator** · 10-11-2007, 10:29 PM

I have tried both ways and could not notice a differnce, and even if their was like a 1 l** differnece could you notice that anyway?

**InsaneInTheMembrane** · 10-11-2007, 10:31 PM

I think with injectables (sans suspension), it doesnt really matter when you take them. It just so happens I take them in the night BUT if it is compounds like tren and prop, it could hamper your sleep especially if you accidently get a little gear in your blood and get sides like tren cough, which would leave you feeling restless even after the symptom has gone (happens to me all the time). However, as for orals, I always split up my doses so the last one is right before bed as well...

I don't know. All I know is that most of you body's recovery and growth is done while sleeping so I figure there is a good chance it would be benificial to take a dose with some protein right before sleep

My opinion

**bpm1** · 10-11-2007, 10:33 PM

i personally doubt it would change it especially for a long estered compound and i can deff see benefits to taking an oral BEFORE my workout, so iono i doubt it matters IMO

**buffgator** · 10-11-2007, 10:37 PM

My third cycle or right around there I took my d-bol before bed with the same thinking.

I saw the Mtv True Life i'm on steroids today, and the one guy that was a BB said he takes it 2 hours before a work out to time his work out with test level spikes from the juice.

Just what the guy said on MTV..don't know what he gear he had.

**purple-ronnie** · 10-12-2007, 05:37 AM

Cheers Guys, I think ill try taking my next cycle B4 bed and see how i get on.

**Seattle Junk** · 10-12-2007, 09:15 PM

Remember that androgens can spike your adrenlin at any time. I personally would not want a rush of androgens right before bed. I know I have woke up for no reason and it was hard getting back to sleep when I was on heavy androgens.

**Maldorf** · 10-12-2007, 09:19 PM

Only things I think would make a difference would be orals and test suspension. those hit you fast and clear out fast.

**MuscleScience** · 10-12-2007, 09:59 PM

Orals if they have an active life of 4-8 hrs would probably be more beneficial during your growth and repair phase. But I back that with no personal or scientific knowledge or proof. Long esters probably makes no bit of difference when you take them.

**convalescence69** · 10-12-2007, 10:12 PM

Var has a life of about 8 hrs, I think T-bol is 12-16hrs. I would definitely stand by taking some of your daily dosage at night, say 20mg of your 60mg cycle. Hormones are what tell your body what to do with its resources, so it does stand to reason that you should have your body in a more anabolic environment while you are sleeping. HGH and IGF-1 levels are higher while you sleep, naturally, so yeah, take a little before bed. help repair and build.
