pre workout messing up sleep

[AllKindsOGains]

Yeah still wondering if the pre workouts are causing this, could just be morning fatigue due to the workouts the night before since i train around 730-8om and usually leave the gym after 9 or 930 , yes i do usually sleep at the same time, id say I usually fall asleep at 130 and I just wake up whenever my body does which is usually around 11, since I am in college, only one 8am class but I have a month off right now. Will be off pre workouts next week, took last night off and woke up feeling good this morning, I am just going to take a caffeine pill before today's workout at 530 and see how i feel tomorrow.

Let me know how you feel.

Let me know how you feel.

Yeah I just woke up now and feel pretty good, not groggy, just had a cup of coffee and half a caffeine pill last night, didnt feel like it hit me as hard in the gym though, mental focus wasnt there lik it usually was but i still beat my numbers last week which is what matters, will see how I am feeling tomorrow morning

Are you eating a meal before the gym? You should be, but you need to wait at least an hour before taking your caffeine pill afterwards. If you have food in your stomach it will slow the absorption and it won't work as well. It also takes a full hour for the pill to digest, vs a preworkout or other liquid that takes tops half an hour. So if you have a small meal (I have a 200 cal protein bar) at 5, take your pill at 6, hit the gym at 7. I personally have the best results waiting 2 hours before ingesting my caffeine. I still get great benefits from it and I've been on it for a while now (several months twice a day).

Yes I have that situation totally under control, Everything is timed perfectly man, i Never take caffeine within 60 minutes of last meal before workout , I usually train after like 4 meals maby then eat 3 more after i train, I wait up towards 2 hours after my last meal before taking anything, usually take it around 90minutes

This is all mental masturbation, it really doesn't matter when you take your caffeine or pre-workout as long as you take it while it's still in effect. Personally i only notice a difference if i don't take any caffeine at all and if i take my PWO i'm super focused but it's not much different performance-wise besides the benefits being more focused has.

Sometimes i'll be eating while i drink my coffee then head to the gym 20 mins later, other times i'll eat then have my coffee straight after then head to the gym, other times it's food and coffee then wait half an hour or so then have PWO then head to the gym.

It doesn't really matter, if you notice a specific way that works best for you then by all means do it that way, but worrying about the digestion time of your caffeine and timing it perfectly with your meal and workout is just mental masturbation.
