Currently running 350mg Test Cyp and my sleep has CRATERED. Wake up every 30-60 minutes - trouble falling asleep. Im just wired and cant settle. Any tips or just tough it out?

I was having this problem in the beginning of my last cycle also. What I did was:
Cut stimulants within 10hrs of bed time.
Cut fluids within 2hrs of bed time.
Bumped Mag Glycinate to 1g.
Added 5mg melatonin.
Got a more comfortable CPAP mask.
I sleep much better now.
placebo 350 test and u cant sleep must be something else
Ipamorelin+modgrf it helps not with sleeplength but with the acctual part that matters in sleep, the rem state.
On tren that does wonders.
Besides that i calm my CNS with Magnesium 400mg and some Melatonin ( up to your specific dose ) i take 1-2mg it suffices and i use that only for the length of the cycle.
Also im avoiding training to late before bed and to not eat a lot before that aswell. Espcially damm carbs
I usually never have sleep issues until I run Tren but I just smoke some OG which always helps knock me out lol
ImmortalMeAM pinning is the right call, but if your heart is still rocking at night, it might be worth looking at your E2. Elevated estrogen wrecks sleep quality for a lot of guys; that wired, can't settle feeling is a classic sign. Get bloods and check where you're sitting before throwing a load of supplements at it.
Mag glycinate is solid; add L-theanine if you haven't already. Ashwagandha before bed helps blunt that CNS stimulation too. GH if you have access, is the real game changer for deep sleep, though.
That's psychosomatic. Workout hard...you sleep
I sleep normal running 120 mg a week. Anything higher and I feel too wired. I’m overthinking, tossing and turning, and get a lot of anxiety. With panic attacks added to the mix. Last year I ran 300 mg for most of the year and I think I fucked myself up. Also found out that I had left ventricular hypertrophy ( mild ). I’m 26 years old and blood pressure is finally sitting around 120/75 almost daily. I’m also 300 lbs at about 30% body fat so that probably didn’t help. My goal is to be 220lb by the end of the year.
That's estrogen....
yeah thats what i was thinking too. my E2 is at 80 (total t 2500). Started arimidex .25 twice per week. hoping that gets me closer to ideal range. really dont want to go too far tho so im wathcing closely.
El_Levantador_405A THC edible will do the trick. I'm not sure where you're located but in the US most states you can go to a CBD shop and buy Delta 9 which is weed.
My sleep thankfully is not affected during a cycle.
I sleep a good 7 hours, around 10:30 to 5:30, but I always wake up groggy. Sometimes when I get actual deep sleep, I wake up fucking great, but most days I just feel like shit.
Injectable melatonin
I’ve had an Ambien script for years.
Sometimes toss in a little trazadone to get real weird.
Melatonin.
WORK HARD EVERYDAY lol I sleep great even on 500mgs a week of Tren. I wake up at 4:15 be at work before 6 work till 6pm then go to the gym. Come home. Eat get ready for bed. Go to bed by 11ish. Do that for a few days and you’ll be tired..
Pussy, mag glicinate, plenty of water. If on tren l dont sleep. I last around 4 weeks.
Trazadone
GH helps me sleep like a baby, deep sleep.
Seroquel! I can run 1cc tren A E/D and sleep like a baby!
When I had that problem I took magnesium glycinate. Everybody here is telling you the same thing. Now vitaminssells a good one that worked
Same as the previous comment
Magnesium / Ashwagandha / Melatonin / Zinc
1 hour before sleep
Magnesium glycinate, zinc, b complex ashwaghanda 1 hour before and your out like a light if your still struggling you can always add in melatonin
Bro knows.
GH helps a lot, MK677 helped a lot, melatonin.. I take trazadone and guanfacine on the really hard to sleep days. Or here in the PNW depending on tolerance 10-100mg in edibles should do it.
500 mg magnesium glycinate 2IU GH. Sleep pretty hard might wake up 1 or 2 times but right back to sleep.
I ended up getting a prescription for trazodone
Bro I can struggle also, I take magnesium glycinate, melatonin and either Dramamine or Benadryl either of those will work cause they are very similar. I was thinking of trying DSIP.
Gummies, a good lady friend, and 4 -6 units GH before bed should do it.
Rub one off. Or two maybe three. Preferably 4 to get optimal results.
4 times before bed would put me at over 12 a day!
The pre-bed 4(fapnap) synchronizes with how many hours since the last fap. So if the last time you fapped before pre-bed was 2hrs, you’ll only sleep for 2hrs. Try to aim for 5 as a good starting point and titrate up as you hit a plateau. Work your way up to 8hrs between fapnap and regular fap.
Hahahaah what type of sorcery is this?
Well played my man
Trazodone
Trazadone
Smoke weed, have sex, Magnesium glycinate, Ashwaganda for stress. Works like a charm for me at similar doses.
DSIP, magnesium glycinate (a lot of it), and mega dose melatonin. Like 40mg. Even better would be those dual acting melatonin pills where half is instant release and the other half is extended release. Usually come in 5 or 10mg varieties. Take however many you need. I found 40mg keeps me asleep for 7ish hours straight. Probably would sleep longer but gotta get up to pee lol. Then I’m wide awake.
Bro, holy shit,40mg of melatonin? That’s a mega-dose! Wow. It’s a powerful anti-aging agent; in studies on mice, it extended their lifespan by 25%.
What are the benefits? Tell me about it.
I’ve just tried all doses from 250mcg up to 50mg. I found 40mg to be my sweet spot. I get up every day, 365 days a year, at 4:30-4:45 and do 45-60 min of fasted cardio and then also lift 5 days a week, so getting good sleep is a major priority to me. Shitty sleep negates, in my mind, all the gear I’m taking. If there are other benefits, such as anti-aging, then great. That’s just the cherry on top.
They even have 60 and 80mg melatonin on amazon too which is crazy, I have the craziest dreams, mainly nightmares on melatonin though which is weird cause I hardly ever dream otherwise.
50mg gave me nightmares. 40mg I’m fine. Though sometimes I’ll get weird dreams like you said.
Crazy melatonin works different for me 20 mgs is all I need and it wipes me out if I take anything less I have crazy nightmares and dreams. Anymore and I'm comatosed lol. Which is weird cause being an ex addict I had such a high tolerance for everything but melatonin fucks me up hahaha.
40mg was wild. Im still groggy this morning.
Might need less? Could try half a tablet. Don’t know how well they split. Did you at least sleep through the night? Have trouble falling asleep?
Yeah I have heard that from a lot of people about melatonin. I'm not sure why that is but it's either super weird dreams or nightmares that are super vivid.
I’m taking both mag gly and the gorilla mind sleep which has both instant and extended. Maybe I’ll try to up both doses.
Gorilla Dream didn’t do it for me. It’s 3mg total I believe. 1.5 instant and 1.5 extended. Got to where I was trying 15 caps to sleep all night.
I’m currently using this one.

Instantly brought my sleep score up by 20 points on my garmin due to the sleep length and lack of “restless moments” or whatever it calls them. Then I take an adrenal stress supplement to lower my stress score and up my HRV
What supplement do you recommend for adrenal stress, bro?
I use this
https://a.co/d/04Xrjiij
It made a noticeable impact on my HRV according to my garmin watch. Definitely felt less fatigued when waking up once starting it.
