HGH causing poor sleep?
ad
I have begun my first experiences with HGH. I did 2iu the first week and increased to 3iu for another week. No sides to speak of, other than the fact that my sleep quality has been negatively impacted. I have never really had sleep issues, and for the past 1.5-2 weeks I find myself waking up between midnight and 3am, and if I fall back asleep it does not feel like a deep/restful sleep.
Most of my searches on how HGH impacts the sleep of others show that it improves sleep quality. Is my experience typical? And, if so, does it resolve eventually over time, or perhaps after adjusting dose back down?

There is an inverse relationship between gh and cortisol. 12a-3a wake-up is likely due to your cortisol creeping up and gh decreasing. When are you taking your gh? Try taking it when you wake up in the middle of the night when you get up to piss. This should blunt your cortisol spike, thereby extending your sleep quality/duration. If not, before bed dosing could help to a lesser extent.
ReSetI had the same problem. Since I switched to taking it before training (I train in the morning) I sleep like a baby at night. I'm also not sleepy during the day. We are not all the same and sometimes side effects that are not standard occur.
I am on my first cycle of HGH and I agree with most of the comments. HGH makes me tired and I sleep, in fact it scares me because sometimes at work I want to just sleep.
I sleep great on hgh
My sleep has been shit for a while now and I’m not taking anything that should be messing up my sleep. Not everything works for everyone the way it’s supposed to. So the only theory I have is that my CNS or adrenals or something is just ultra taxed and just like running on overdrive or something is just being over stimulated in some way. I would think it would have the opposite effect so idk. But my sleep has been horrendous.
When are you pinning? I pin 4iu’s every night before bed and I sleep like a baby. Although, I’ve been drinking a lot of water so I wake up at least once to take a piss. It sucks, but I’ve definitely solved my bloat issues, even on Dbol
Improved deep sleep is the main effect I can feel straight away when I'm taking HGH.
Only time my sleep was every disturbed on HGH, was bunk HGH.. I had changed to new brand, went from deep deep sleeping to a horrible three weeks of shit sleep on new brand. Binned the HGH after 3 weeks, went back on HGH brand I was using pervious and sleep improved straight away.
I agree with Makwa , in my experience using HGH it gave me good sleep .
That would be an atypical response from HGH. I would be inclined to think it is something else.
sele137It would help if you could tell us when you take HGH?
The first week I took it in the afternoon after my workout. For the second week I took it at bedtime.
Don’t take it at bedtime ideally take it between 1pm and 5pm to get the most out of it .. injecting sub then take it closer to 5pm injecting into the muscle then take it closer to 1pm. Actually been talking about this earlier today via dm on here
sele137The easiest thing you can do to test yourself is to take it in the morning after waking up, which is not at all an unusual time to take it.
Have you considered alternative factors that might be impacting your sleep?
Indeed I have. And no doubt I could be missing something. But the timing and acuteness of this experience has me inclined to believe it’s the HGH. I suppose cessation of the HGH could be a way to test that.
Was your HGH a brand name or that white box stuff. Some sources are shady and send people cheaper peptides in place for real GH. Beware pricing on white box that is a little too good to be true
White box. But from a domestic source whose oils and orals I’ve used with success, and who seems very well regarded.
It might not even be GH that you’re taking and it’s most likely a peptide. You’d have to run blood work to be sure because GH makes me Nod off at work.
Exactly! I found a ten pack white box blue cap online for $42.00. I forgot which peptide it was , but asked myself “how could anyone tell the difference”, so it wouldn’t surprise me if some sources selectively screw people because they know that most people would just assume it’s not working yet. Meanwhile, they’re giving people shit that can fuck up their whole system. This is why I say fuck white box HGH. They can keep that shit. I actually heard a very respected domestic source say that there’s no difference in cap colors, it all just HGH. Why would any manufacturer even use a different color if it didn’t signify something????
You’re the one that convinced me to go with brands and pay the extra money. I totally agree and appreciate it.
