Zinc Supplementation at Night Makes Me Wake Up Humping My Pillow!
Alright, I get a little nervous taking pills on an empty stomach, so I've always taken my zinc (along with magnesium and B6) with my last meal instead of on an empty stomach just before bedtime (I don't want to wake up with an upset stomach, ya know). When I take it with my last meal, I don't get that "restful" sleep that others claim to get when supplementing with zinc and/or magnesium at night. But I do get an unintendend effect: I wake up in the middle of the night humping my pillow out of pure horniness.
Has anyone else had this effect when supplementing with zinc at night?
Recently, I've started taking the zinc, magnesium and B6 on an empty stomach. When I do this, I DO sleep deeper, AND I don't wake up in the middle of the night all horned up. Which makes me wonder if the zinc is better absorbed with a meal (which is why I wake up horny), and the magnesium is better absorbed on an empty stomach (which is why I sleep deeper).
Any thoughts?
Any other pillow humpers out there?

whats your last meal? calcium interferes with the zinc absorbtion, so if your eating cc or milk or anything with calcium, that could be why. IMO

Last night was my first time going back on ZMA after about 1 year off, and come to think of it I had this same "problem" (or blessing?). It could also just be that I'm 20. I took it on an empty stomach 30 minutes prior to sleep and got the best snooze in recent memory.

I remember having several sex dreams while first starting zma a few years back... been on it quite awhile though so they have dissipated.

zma is the supplement... i guess?
I have trouble sleeping at night, never sleep a full night through.
What exactly is it that makes you sleep so peacefull? I'd like to start taking it.

Ummmm....sorry but I'm going to have to cancel our camping trip this weekend.
I got vivid dreams from ZMA, but nothing else in the way of horniness or symptoms of higher test levels.

I would think the increase in testosterone as a result of ZMA could be cause.

How many pillows do you use? If you're using more than one, sleep with only one for the night, maybe you won't hump it.

Enzyte
There are 3 ingredients to Enzyte
Niacin
Zinc
Copper
Here is how it works. Niacin is what helps the sex drive. Zinc helps with Niacin Metabolism, but causes a copper deficiency. Copper is added to replace the deficiency, but causes a zinc deficiency. So Copper and Zinc are overloaded in the pill, so that while they are causing deficiencies to each other, the zinc has time to metabolise the niacin.
That's why you are waking up horny. It is a good thing. I usually take my zinc in the morning with a meal, but I might switch to last meal so I can hump my pillow.

Damn! I hate happy pills. They depress me! Why can't I have horny dreams like everyone else. Well I guess it's better than driving my car off a bridge. I'll keep taking the zinc maybe the chems just need to balance out.
