Sleep Aid

[nate3993]

So what natty sleep aids do you guys use? I've tried just plain melatonin alone, and I've been taking Irwin Naturals Power to sleep that a has quite the profile on it. It was good at first, but seems to not have quite the same effects. I've taken ketotifen and it works for knocking me out, but not really keeping me alseep and I'd rather not take a rx antihistamine indefinitely. I doubt that's good for me. What do you guys use? Thanks

Just cutting out caffeine does it for me. Powerfull helps me sleep deep though. It's also about the only thing that can get me around 5 or 6 hours of straight sleep without waking up. Although I have been failing miserably at this, if you can avoid any electronics and bright lights, maybe 2 hours before you lay your head down, this should help your sleeping issues.

I had to get another cpap machine to start the new year off right, and that has helped my quality of sleep go through the muthafucking roof. I notice if I don't use it, I feel groggy and tired all day.

Last thing: As I lay on my bed getting ready for sleep, reading a book for about 5 minutes gets me yawning and sleepy like no other.

It does nothing to make you tired. I take 2 for the first few weeks, then on some nights i'll take 3. I take it for 8 weeks then take a break. Take 1 day off a week from using it, like a saturday or sunday night.

I try to take it right before I close my eyes and sleep. Meaning I will wait till the last minute, have the pills by my bed and take them with about 5 ounces of water. Too much water and you may have issues going to the bathroom in the middle of the night. I can usually make it 6 hours before I have to make a bathroom break. Powerfull will help to keep you asleep.

I've probably gone through at least 10 bottles of this. The dreams you get are wild, the recuperation you get from it are damn noticable too. One of my favorite supps.

I like straight melatonin at 3-6 mgs. I also take the mod/ghrp-2 combo that helps me nock out. But the melatonin really helps keep me deep into my sleep. I do get up in the middle of the night to piss, but I go right back to sleep after.

I've done PowerFull before, 3 caps right before going to sleep.
It's some great stuff, but pricey. I think NutraPlanet has it on sale right now, I may have to pick some up.

In terms of sleep, there are a LOT of factors in getting a good night sleep. Stuff like no caffeine within 8 hours of sleep, nothing to eat within 2-3 hours of sleep (within reason), nothing to drink within an hour or two of sleep. The list goes on.
Hell, having a decent bed is a big deal. I just dropped $2.6k on a new bed/mattress for myself and the wife, never slept so well in my life.

If you are having trouble falling asleep, or staying asleep, there might be a key factor out there that is causing it, so a supplement may not be necessary.

Funny that you say this, cause my wife and I just spent about the same on a new mattress last week!

No libido increase from it. I do get a libido increase from tcf-1 and toco 8 as a stack. Also Sustain alpha solo does the trick. The ultimate libido booster for me though, if I ever do use it- WEED.

I have had great sleep with a cap or 2 of rxwheys lights out along with a pump or 2 of SA if I'm feeling froggy.

I don't use it that often but when i do it's like a vacation and i wake up feeling great.

If you are constantly having trouble sleeping i would suggest looking into your diet, supplement regime and lifestyle for some potential causes and try to square them away as well.
