Sleep No More...

[DrumTech]

I have noticed that I don't sleep at all really anymore since going to the gym and eating more.

Does anyone have a problem with sleep?

How do you deal with it?

What Could cause someone not to sleep?

depression or constant thoughts can keep you awake. I used to have a problem with sleep a month ago i would always be thinking of stupid crap.

After i discovered i was defficient in Zinc and was put on the supplement i must say that i have been sleeping just amazing. I don't wake up at night anymore and its a Solid sleep. Mabey your deficient in Zinc from not eating right, its found in meat and alot of your meals lack a good amount of meat.

how long have you been training, and how is your intensity/diet?

You can get pills of zinc, just a supplement (non-Rx)

I havent been training for tooo long.... but I have been very strict on my diet for the past year. Since then I have noticed less sleep.

Also since I havent been touring, working, or really anything but chill at the beach all summer..... I don't sleep....

I have tried reading, listening to music, playin sports, eating cottage cheese, drinking warm milk, tea's, staying up later...

I just don't want it to hurt my rest for muscle recovery or mess up my metabolism.

[spinal1]

You might be overtraining, you might be not eating enough calories for your routine...

Take a week break, and possibly do cardio/stretching/light workouts... and keep your calories up.

Go to sleep by no later than 12.

Don't sleep for more than 8-9 hours, force yourself to get up.

I cant sleep in past 7am max... my body has always rised early... If I sleep past 7 my mind turns into mud and I get cranky.

Anyone have a recomended natural source?

I have always been one to wake up early... I like to wake up early... but not when I havent slept....

I wish I could just sleep from 10-6 without waking up!

that used to be me i used to always wake up early and cook breakfast cause i couldnt sleep, now i sleep right on through till even 9am-10am solid. Its amazing what this zinc did

[Basil08]

when taking Zinc or ZMA, make sure you do not consume calcium within an hour of taking it. your brain prefers calcium over Zinc so to speak, thus the Zinc will not be absorbed, also take at night, around 45 minutes of sleep

Omg thank you for saying this ..me too ..i cant fricken sleep..i sleep at most 6 hours a night.... what is the deal with that..when i wake up and see the time ?? I am disappointed i didnt get my 8 hours..sleeping is my favorite activity..above all else?? YES even that. LOL

Oh i take ZMA by the way..no such luck could be the cottage cheese or yogurt i eat to before bed ..like someone said i never thought of that.

But last nite i had neither..i had chicken and broccoli..and still not enuff sleep .. and i wake up very tired too.

[wake_me]

i noticed when i improved my diet and trained consistantly, i sleep less as well. I don't really feel sleep deprived though, so I wonder if you eat healthy etc. your body doesnt need as much sleep.

[The Solution]

my body tends to get less sleep also.. maybe its just beacuse of my hectic summer (3 jobs) i really never get to sleep 8 hours.. maybe two or 3 times all summer.. i get aroudn 6 but i still feel good.. wish i could get more though!

also getting up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom sucks the worst

x2 on the ZMA...i've read a lot of bad reviews in the supp. section, but when i tried it, i loved it...may not have done much in terms of a test. booster, but i gotta admit that while i was on it, i had some of the best sleeps of my life.

[BabyBodybuilder]

Zma is a little too expensive for me ATM, so would just Zinc work or do you need the Mag. too?

Keep in mind, I was trying 12-18mg of Melatonin, and that couldn't quiet my mind.

More meat i eat, less sleep I seem to get. I'm a believer its the concentrated phosporus in meat and maybe the vitamin b12 in high doses

[Mike83]

If you are eating close to bedtime, that can cause an increase in core body temp. and make it harder to sleep. If you are going to bed early enough and sleeping until 7am, theres no problem with that. Its just your natural process of waking up at the same time.

that might be.. but usually when i wake up all the time

i would think being all warm and comfy would make it easier to sleep.. at least it is for me.. and thats how i like to be when i sleep

I can sympathize with your reasoning. Whenever I consume carbs in my last meal I sleep fine, but not when that meal consists of protein/fats.
