Sleep tips

[Nebraska_Jim]

What up freaks.

Almost 4 weeks into Test E cycle (500mg per week split into 250 mg per pin)

Getting ready to draw first set of on-cycle labs following my next pin. Everything pre was within normal ranges. Vitals perfect. The only downside is I started the cycle a little chubby at 17%BF.

Sleep has been a struggle. Just feel “on” all night even with low/no caffeine.

Would be very grateful for tips, cocktails, or just a swift kick in the ass to stop being a sensitive bitch and accept that for 16 weeks sleep is going to be hit and miss. I do wonder how much anxiety plays into it. Been a health nut most of my life.

PS - I’m open to more frequent pinning if it might help.

Tryptophan 1500mg about 6 hours before you want to be asleep, 8oz Pure Tart Cherry Juice 1 hour before you want to sleep. (Also excellent for blood-pressure and cholesterol balance).
And/or
Chamomile tea (straight chamomile, not a blend) (2 bags in 8oz hot water, steep for 10min)... this will knock a horse out, in a good way!

Thank you. I forgot chamomile. Agree - used to drink it and it definitely “does something”. I’ll check out the other stuff.

Welcome to the FREAK show!

I’ve personally never had a problem with sleep while on cycle unless I’m using Tren. Saying you been a health nut and knowing you are taking some risk with cycling it could be anxiety. Do you feel anxious at all?

Are you using an AI or have an AI on hand? Bloodwork may show you something but it also may be just physiological. Are you planning on cycling completely off or doing TRT after your Test cycle?

What up King.

I appreciate your questions.

Yeah man I’m anxious about risks but it comes in waves - in other words not all the time. From everything I’ve been able to gather - 500 mg test e per week is pretty damn relatively low risk for an otherwise healthy 35 year old male. Not zero but pretty tolerable by the body.

I’ve got an AI on hand.

Ideally, cycling off.

Try not to stress yourself out. Just relax and know that you have read and researched enough to go through with a cycle. You did your diligence so now enjoy the ride. Know that this is a game that is an investment of years not just a crazy few cycles.
