Sleeping problem

[mhafez]

Today I slept for 8:30 hrs and that was the longest sleep I had in 6 years. I don’t know why but I’m never able to sleep more than 6 to 6:30 hours at night, and my day is not that easy, I work, I go to the gym and go out with my friends at night, but whatever effort I do all day it doesn’t help me to have a long good sleep at night.

p.s. these 8:30 hours were not continuous, I woke up like three times.

getting only 6.5 hrs isn't ideal, but it's not that bad. Some people require less sleep.

the important thing is that you get deep, continuous sleep.

Are you on a cycle? or taking any stimulants?

I get around 5 hours a night. 6 if I'm lucky. And I'm only 20 years old.

Studies have shown that proper sleep = increased growth / recovery of the muscles.

Nevertheless, it isn't a plausible option for many. Especially those of us who work / go to school.

Thats why i want to sleep more, i try to force myself to sleep but i end up laying on the bed for hours without sleeping

lol, man i hear ya. if im not tired i lay in bed for a few hours b4 i pass out, then i find myself waking up a few times while sleeping to turn over. its BS and i wish i could sleep a solid 8 hours instaed of sleeping 10 and waking up every 2.

Maybe your mattress sucks. Get a Tempurpedic mattress, thats what I did.

I also read in another one of your threads that you lift in the afternoon. How late are we talking? I used to lift at night and I couldnt sleep for shit. I started lifting early as **** in the morning, works out better for me.

even with ambien cr i can only sleep about 4 hours. then i'm up and can't fall back asleep for an hour or so, then i sleep another hour or 2. it sucks.

damned tren! sad thing is i'm 3 weeks into pct and it's still that way.

anyone else had prolonged problems while on tren? how long until sleep went back to normal?

6 hours? you're my hero. 8,30? you're my superhero.
The most i ever slept is like 5 hours taking huge amount of diazepam.
I dont take sleeping pills anymore i'd rather sleep less that have that bad trip.
I prolly runs on my genes, my grandmom and her sister never sleep for more than 3/4 hours. My shrink says its called "short sleepers". I dunno if its bad. She is 90 and healthier than me. Pretty much a lottery.

^^ same. I wake up and stay up for a good 45 minutes, sweating balls. Thank god I don't have to wake up that early (8am the latest).

I'd rather not take anything, bc of that groggy feeling. Xanex helps me if I get a good nice sleep early.

you guys are lucky, i sleep 8 hours and i feel like i got 1

The first thing that comes to mind is that you could be over-trained but I think it's probably your body chemistry if you are not feeling lethargic. Sleep apnea could be another culprit. Do you snore or wake up with dry mouth?

[Joker111086]

hellz yea i wake up with dry mouth and stuffy ass nose lololol i hate it, bout to buy me a air purifier

i workout first thing in the morning, before work. and i've tried sleeping in another room with the same result

My father doesn't sleep much but i though that's bc of his age...his over 70

i dont snore, and sometimes i wake up with dry mouth

[Joker111086]

maybe ur dehydrated??? id tell u to chug some water b4 u goto bed, but u might have to wake up in a few hours 2 piss... lol thats why i dont do it

[TheJuicer]

Ronnie might be on to something about the overtraining. In my younger years when I use to overtrain big time. I would lie down and my heartbeat would keep me up...

[Gears]

This is the story of my life.... I stopped taking tylenol PM that I was addicted to, and now my sleep is just TERRIBLE. I find that taking zinc/magnesium/b-6/melatonin helps me keep asleep when I finally do fall asleep.

For you guys that have sinus probs keeping you up, try a neilmed nasaFLO (saline nasal wash system) it get's rid of all KINDS of sinus symptoms. cost 12 bucks, after using it I think it's worth a million.

[mhafez]

I dont feel overtrained..
seems like no one on this forum gets a good night sleep

[RangersLTW]

Isn't the amount of sleep your body needs based on your age and/or normality
If you you are used to getting X amount of hours than you have got the right amount of sleep.
The older you get, the less your body needs.
Could be wrong but I have read this many times
I always get 4 to 5 hours, for as long as I can remember.....my body as an internal clock.......I hate it.....I can go to sleep at 5 and wake up at 6:30

yeah most people don't, i'm getting 10hrs a night right now, but I got laid off till march. When I go back to work (elec lineman) i'll prob be back to 6 a night tops. I can sleep good, but my prob is just the passing out part lol

[Joker111086]
