i'm 18 days out from my show and i was wondering if anybody else has ever just been unable to sleep at night. it's my second show and don't remember this happening for the first one. i'll go to bed at 10 pm an just lay there for hours. what the hell is wrong with me? anybody else experience this?

The same thing happens to me when I diet and increase cardio to a amount im not used to. A week or so ago I increased my cardio to 90 mins a day am pm sessions at 45/45 or 60/30. I figured that since I was doing more work my body would go to sleep alot sooner, but the opposite happened and I to lay awake for a hour before dozing off. I think it has to do with the body being pushed into high gear and not being able to slow it down.

im 4 weeks out and am also at 90 min a day= and dont remember what it was like to sleep through the night:( However, i started taking melatonin at night which is supposed to help. I think there are a million other natural sleep aids you can take...

really that happens to you guys? when i was at about 4 weeks out and on i was getting easy 9 hours a night no problem
This happens to me all the time. I take rozerem to help regulate my melatonin levels.
I also notice this happens when I take any kind of pre-workout supplement so I have stopped all NO2 supps.

Yeeks, dunno what causes this. I was able to always sleep during the last few weeks of the contest prep. The only things that would stop that were nights I was nervous or excited for the show, aka the day before.
Hmmm, hopefully the sleep aid formula from Scivation/Primaforce comes out in time for you bro.
I know ill be taking it, even though im not doin contest prep right now, anabolic sleep + as many hours as my body needs = hell yeah.
