Sleep probe on cycle

[monster70k]

Within 72 hours of starting my new cycle, my sleep has gone to shit. It's like I never get into a 'deep' sleep and I can't sleep for more than an hour or two at a time without waking up. I go back to sleep, but not a deep sleep. It is annoying and affecting my mental performance during the days now.

This happened on my last cycle, and went away during PCT. In fact, I slept better during my time off than I have in 10+ years.

Is this a normal side - do I need to adjust something?

Try Soloray ZINC/COPPER supp. Other options are ZMA and/or Melatonin.

Melatonin works great for me. Cheap, non narcotic....i do think its addictive tho bc i cant remember the last time i went to sleep at night without it.lol

I'll add ZMA now and see if that helps. I'll give it 2 wks then add the other if the ZMA doesn't help. Thanks.

Melatonin didn't do a damn thing for me, and the doctor said if you have to go over the recommended dose it becomes liver toxic.



Valerian worked better.

Must be another person specific thing. I either take one 10 mg tab or two 3 mg's and im extremely drowsy in 30-45 mins...like, need to get my ass in bed stat drowsy. Maybe ill try some valerian after i finish this bottle up...

I feel ya brother. The only compound that I ever had a problem with in the past was tren. As of this past year, even low doses of test now affect me. My last cycle I ran 300mg a week in one shot. Next cycle I’m going to split it up into 2 shots to see if it helps at all. Nothing anyone mentioned above has helped me sleep during my cycle. I started taking somatomex again (1/2 a scoop before bed) which does significantly help. I learned to get by with little sleep when on cycle. The things you do to look good! lol

So this is actually a side from the Test/AAS, and a common one, then? Damn - every time I think I kinda have a handle on this and know the ropes - I discover new stuff. I'm at about 4 hrs of total sleep per night and function pretty well considering that, but if I sit in one place tot long (like driving or at a desk) I feel like I've been hit with a tranq dart and I fight to stay awake. Well, good to know it isn't something I need to worry about :)

Phenibut really helps my sleep.

I wouldn't say it's common. On tren yes but not a normal side from test. I just happen to be very sensitive to any thing remotely close to a stimulant. I tried a NOexplode again a couple months back before a workout and I was up for almost 2 days. lol Sucks!

I'm gonna order some ZMA now, never used it before. I'm only on 450mgs a week of test and I cant sleep worth 2 fucks.

Placing the order on this one now. Not very expensive so we'll see.

Is this a new development or something that has been consistent as long as you have been on? Have you found it gets more/less noticeable if you vary dosage of Test?
