A big thanks to Chris (GymGod) at Fusion for this opportunity


What is SHUT-EYE?
Shut-Eye is the one of the only bodybuilding supplement made to induce muscle sleep. Shut-Eye patented formula will crank your muscle-building potential by helping you achieve muscle sleep. The average person can get by with regular, average-quality sleep. But bodybuilders who are serious about getting huge need a special kind of sleep - muscle sleep. Muscle sleep is a critical stage of sleep when your testosterone and growth hormone levels are at their highest, and when your body is packing on the muscle. Working all-out in the gym is only half the battle. You grow muscle at night, and you grow most during muscle sleep.

Woke up twice during the early night and 1 bathroom break. Feel back to sleep seconds after waking. I had great sleep later on in the night, roughly 3am to morning. My wife got up at 5:45 and I was back sound asleep until 6:45. I was still quite a bit tired when my alarm went off and took about 5 mins to get enough motivation to get up and go do cardio. Overall it was pretty good, average night.

Sleep:
I took Shut-Eye on more of an empty stomach this time, about 2hrs after eating and about 1 hr before bed. I made it into bed at 11:00pm and was out almost instantly. Only once did I wake around 1:30am and then my bathroom trip around 3am. Once again I had great sleep from 3am to 5:45am. It took me awhile to realize that my alarm was going off. After my wife got up, I was completely out until 6:45am. It was a little easier getting out of bed the 2nd morning. I would have to give my 2nd night a very good to great sleep.

Thanks for posting the pic Chris, that saves me the trouble of taking a picture of it at lunch time :D It's a very large, nicely made calendar. I was planning to fill it out this weekend to help me track my weight during my cut.

Sleep:
I took Shut-Eye at around 10pm, on about a 4hr empty stomach. I was starving though and ate a handful of peanuts at about 10:30pm and got into bed at 11pm. Like the previous night, I was out almost instantly. The whole night I was completely out, except to peak at the time at roughly 1:20am. This was also the night of my most vivid dreaming so far.Still a little groggy when I woke up, but not quite as bad as the previous 2 nights. That was a great night of sleep.

Sleep:
Today was my carb up night so I was eating right up until about 9pm, took my pills at 10pm and in bed by 11pm. I was sweating up a storm after my carb intake, that made getting to sleep a little more difficult. I didn't have trouble getting to sleep, but I woke up a couple more times in the early night. Once that was done with, I was completely out. Once my alarm went off, I really didnt want to get out of bed today, I was groggy as heck. Once up though, I felt great and ready to go.

Morning Cardio:
Bike 20mins, Treadmill 20mins, 10mins Heavy Bag (Friday only)

Morning Workout (Back on Saturday):
Lat Pulldown 250 x 8 (3 sets)
1 Arm Hammer Rows 180 x 8 (3 sets)
Cybex Pulldowns 310 x 8 (3 sets)
Cable Rows 250 x 10 (3 sets)

Nutrition:
High Protein, Mod Fat, Low Carb (~2500 cals)

Sleep:
Friday night: Bed at 11:30 up at 7:30
Saturday night: Bed at 11:00 up at 9:30
Sunday night: Bed at 11:00 up at 6:45
Each night's sleep this weekend was very consistant. Easy to get to bed, extremely sound sleep, but still very hard to get up. Even waking up Sunday morning at 9:30 was tough. I wake up groggy and really don't feel too motivated to get up. Once I do though, I'm very awake and energized, its just that first inital step out of bed thats hard. I have also seen a gradual decrease in muscle soreness, especially after my back workout on Saturday.

Sleep:
I'm in a pretty good routine of taking the pills on an empty stomach (2 hrs after eating) and about an hour before bed. I've noticed the best results from this method.
I get to bed around 11pm, I'm going to start aiming for 10:30 to get that .5 hr of extra sleep. This night was my best by far on Shut-Eye. Went to sleep instantly, did not wake up 1 time at night, and didn't feel as groggy in the morning. This has been a big problem lately. Looks like Shut-Eye is starting to kick in full force.

Nice! It has been said that an empty stomach is considered 2 hours after eating or 1 hour before eating - you've nailed it!

Sleep:
I decided to pop 5 caps tonight, just to see what would happen. I took these on about a 4hr empty stomach, at around 10pm. I was planning to go to bed around 11, but the wife wanted to stay up until 11:30. After 11, I was yawning like crazy and could barely keep my eyes open. I hit the bed at 11:30 and was out after 1 second. Best night of sleep by far. Did not wake up 1 time and had some deep, vivid dreaming. The alarm went off at 5:45 and it took me awhile to realize where I was and what day it is. I was OUT cold that night, still feeling the grogginess though.

LOL... it's always fun to experiment with this but next time - allow yourself adequate time to sleep. At least 7-8 hours.

Saturday night was a bit of a mess, dang UFC fight kept me up until 1:30am. It was hard getting up the next morning after that :p
I'll have a full Memorial Day weekend wrapup tomorrow.

Sleep:
I had a great Memorial Day Weekend of sleep. Got to sleep in and catch up on some zzzzs. The only exception being Saturday night and UFC. I didn't get to sleep until around 1:30 and got up around 9:00. That was probably the hardest time so far on this cycle getting up and being groggy. The days after that have been pretty consistant with a 10:45 bedtime. The first fews days of the log I was on Keto and making trips to the bathroom at night. Now that the water weight is gone, I haven't been waking up at all during the night. So far its been out once I hit the pillow and up when my alarm goes off, no waking up in between. Over the past 5-6 days it seems like my sleep is "deeper" and my dreams are getting more vivid.

Sleep:
My last 2 days of sleep couldn't have been better. Still taking 4 pills an hour before sleep on an empty stomach. I can best sum it up by saying that I'm achieving deeper sleep faster. My wife wanted to know why I didn't say goodbye to her before she left for work this morning. After being awake about 2mins before, my sleep was so deep I couldn't hear her. I'm loving this stuff so far.
FYI, I'm average between 7 and 8 hours of sleep so far on the log

Sleep:
Not much has changed, my sleep has been great so far. Over the past week, Ive been able to be more "aware" in my dreams and I can remember more details when I wake up. The only drawback so far so been the difficulty getting out of bed in the morning. It just takes me a bit longer to fully wake up.

Thanks for the update gresh! Since I only needed a 7-day review, could you please leave a Final Review in the Supplement Review section as well as in the store: http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/fus/shuteye.html

Final Review

25 Nights of Shut-Eye

Getting to Sleep
My sleeping pattern was very consistant on this log. There were only a couples time where I would deviate by more than a few hrs. I would always take my 4 pills 1 hr before sleep and always at least 1hr after my last meal. I achieve sleep very quickly, typically within 2-3 minutes and never more than 5. If ever during the night I woke up for a bathroom break or to adjust my position, I fell back to sleep instantly.

During Sleep
As the log progressed my dreams became "deeper" and more vivid. I was able to recall and remember much more of what took place and what I dreamt about. I had almost zero tossing and turning during the night and slept pretty much until my alarm went off.

Waking Up
This was the part I had a bit of trouble with. I had a heck of a time trying to get up most mornings, but once I did, I felt great. It would typically take 4-5 minutes to "gather" myself, crack some bones, and put on my cardio clothes. This isn't unusual for me though. Every sleep aid I've tried, I've ended up feeling this way in the morning.

Overall, I really liked this product and feel that it belongs amongst the top in its category.
