how do you sleep on a cycle? and running what is worse for sleep?

ad

running test e 300 and deca 250 a week. since week 2 my sleep has been shitty, not really sure if its the cycle at this point or just stress. (lot of stress in my life right now). just wondering if anyone else has issues with sleep while on cycle and if or what is worse to run for sleep issues.

running just test c in the past i slept fine, slept spotty on sustanon. ran test c 400 and deca 200 in past slept fine with minimal disturbance. i believe the deca is the primary issue for me n sleep.

your thoughts and what may cause your sleep disturbance???

I don't like taking anything to sleep. Most things become habit forming even if they say they aren't. It's all mental IMO. I just go lay in bed at a certain time and when I fall asleep, I fall asleep. At least I'm resting. This only happens to me on tren A however.

Good to hear bro. A shitty nights sleep can throw off your entire day. I've also began sleeping with ear plugs in. They work great. So well that I had to buy a louder alarm.

I generally don't get good sleep year round, I work an overnight shift. On cycle it's worst depending on what I'm running, the dosages and how much my weight is up. Tren makes me absolutely miserable for the simple fact that I've never slept well on it. I haven't done a perscription sleep aid, but I do use Valerian Root, Melatonin, and Passion Flower to help me fall asleep. It's work well for me, if stress is high I'll also do some Kava Kava either in tablet or tea form.

Be careful with Kava. I used to drink Kava tea religiously until I had blood work done, off cycle, and I had high liver enzymes. After going over all the possibilities I found that Kava can be hard on the liver.. So I checked my box of Kava tea and sure enough there is a big warning about don't use if you have liver problems..

Iron_Addict0929's picture

Yeah I've read that it can be harsh on liver values. I don't use it religiously, but turn to it as an alternative to anxiety meds. I ususally have to be Xanax'd out of my mind to step on an airplane, but started using Kava instead to calm the nerves and was suprised how well it worked. Don't generally use it in a sleep stack unless I'm stressed at work right before heading to bed.

For sleep, because I'm running tren, I used ZMA with great results for a month. Now I'm using Melatonin also with great results.. Also if your taking any caber, prami or any anti-e take them at night before bed and it will make you drowsy.

I get melatonin from GNC. The dissolvable seems to work better. About 15-20 mg's .. Lil more when on tren, lol

Hey bro you can get some melatonin at any local pharmacy or vitamin shop it is all natural so no script needed... It will help you sleep take about 6mg and should be good to go

i got a few bottles of melatoning tabs round here somewhere, would prefer liquid though, but it will have to do. takes about 2 hours to kick in good for me, so im gona be taking it soon. im a single dad so i tend not to mess with things that knock me out at night, got 2 lil boys 5 n 6 and i worry that theyll be up and i wont wake

Good, legit tren is the only one that tends to mess up my sleep on a consistent basis. I'm a very early riser by nature so usually by the time I hit the bed at 11ish i'm out. With tren I get to sleep okay, but get sweaty and restless around 2-3. Plus it makes me piss throughout the night.

Hell yea I agree Tren E and Tren A are the worst for insomnia and if you do get sleep then the night sweats wake you up... Love the effects of it tho!

When I am on a cycle I sleep like shit, especially test and deca. Right now I average 5 hours a night. That's why I am eroids now at 4 am on a Sunday.

Running any kind of AAS has the potential to raise your blood pressure and resting heart rate which can effect your sleep. Have you checked either of those lately?

mwagner630's picture

at rest heart rate has been around 90 which a bit high for me, generally im around 60-70bpm and my bp is spot on 120 over 80, my bp has never been over 130 over 80 my entire life even while deployed

UncleYoked's picture

That is a bit on the high side for a resting bp. Does your mind race a lot when you try to fall asleep? Get some unisom and see of that helps.

Are you using prami or caber as your ancillary for deca. I've read that prami, taken at night, aids in sleep while on 19 nor's. I don't have experience with this compound personally.

mwagner630's picture

just ordered prami, wont mess with caber cause of the potential heart issues associated with it. id rather take my risk with prami sides than mess up my heart

On test, dbol, anadrol, and EQ I sleep good.

On deca I think my sleep is not that great but not horrible, Deca does give me night sweats.

On tren I sleep like shit.
