Theres a bunch of OTC shit out there you can look at in any drug store...I have sleep issues too...last week my doc gave me ambien and as it turns out it made me sleep walk and do fukkd up shit in my sleep...example...the other day I woke up and there was a loaded syringe on my night table..primed and ready to shoot...I loaded it in my sleep...DAMN!! I'm not kidding here!! My wife said I exercise in my sleep to...imaginary curls...and shit like that...so my point...stay away from ambien if thats what you are considering....

Its the drol keeping you up. Try melatonin. Start with a gram before bed. Benedryl will help too. Both make me groggy in the morning, but after a couple cups of coffee Im good to go.

as a chiropractor i usually use phoshatidyl serine. usually 200 mg. early afternoon and then about 300-600 mgs before bed. it basically dampens cortisol. works well for me. i usually dont take that much if not on juice. off cycle 400 mgs day works but juice increases cortisol a lot in me so i double that.

imaginary curls in your sleep,, thats funny shite right there. be pretty cool though to get your workout on during your sleep.

Nyquil always does the trick for me if i cant sleep

Try 3mg - 6mg of melatonin, ive had excellent results using this and puts me clean out.

**PrideFEDOR** · 11-25-2008, 10:32 AM

True that , 3mg of melatonin with a glass of milk 20-30min before bed great way to fall asleep. I was taking ambien for 2 weeks and didn't feel it that much anymore . So I took 3mg tab of melatonin ( which is 3 bux for 100tabs in any store). knocked me right out. The only thing I hate about melatonin is it does make me drowzy( i hope i said it right) in the morning. It works great , but it's hard to wake up!

i have slept 5 hours or less for the last 5 years. i guess every person has different needs because i feel just fine off that amount of sleep

I use trazdone and it seems to help most of the time. I too have trouble sleeping on cylce. No sleep sets though!

PT · 11-25-2008, 04:47 PM

**redz** · 11-25-2008, 04:48 PM

If I don't get 7 hours I feel like a zombie all day. I also take a nap at least 2-3 times a week for an hour or so. I though sleep was pretty damn important for bodybuilders.

**redz** · 11-25-2008, 05:00 PM

I go for 7-8hours almost every night.

**XNathan** · 11-25-2008, 06:18 PM

Iam like on some stimulant when Iam on prop. But I fall a sleep really good, but during day its like on ..... still in move, restless legs, so much energy!

I used melatonine 6mg this dose will put me to sleep for sure. In our country is on prescription (EU laws).

**Smoke Capone** · 11-25-2008, 06:39 PM

i'm running test/tren and every day around the same time my eyes start to shut. i cant operate without my 8-10 hours sleep. while before cycle i got about 4-5 hours sleep a night and was fine. if i do that now i'm DEAD in the gym. maybe just throw in a extra half hour cardio at end of your workout to drain the last of your energy. i wouldn't recommend the sleeping stuff cuz like Inky-e said, it can make you do some crazy things and you don't know what drug will have what affect until you try it.

It all depends on the individual... I know others and have heard that a couple professional BBer's (ex. Brach Warren, Johnnie Jackson) that only get 4-5 hours a night like PT... Most people do seem to function better with more than that howeverwith some being on the extreme end of 10+ hours per night... Persaonlly if I sleep more than 8, I feel like shit! Really lethargic, but If I get 6 or so I can get through the day fully energized...
