I almost never have trouble sleeping unless im about to start school. It is 6am and i layed in bed trying to sleep at 230am. It has been happening the past week or so. I even took melatonin at 2am to try to sleep. Did nothing.
Anyone else experience this from jack3d? Am i right to think it may be causing my pretty severe insomnia?

I hope not, was actually considering getting a batch.
Did you have sleep issues before you started using it?

Never had sleep problems before. (Except before starting school) that was just nerves. Not nerves here.Originally Posted by TASEVSKI

jack3d is a stimulant, so its quite possible especialy if you are sensitive to caffine or took it too close to bed.

It seems like you're very sensitive to pre-workout supplements. Simple solution. Dont take jack3d at all.
Or compromise and dont take as much jack3d and dont take it close to bed time.Powerlifter at PTC Performance Training Centre

thanks for the -rep.
I was being serious. You asked if "Anyone else experience this from jack3d? Am i right to think it may be causing my pretty severe insomnia? "
And if others have, google would be your best bet for an answer.

exact same thing happened to me with NO xplode and the only thing you can do is go off the supplement, and if your lucky after like a month or two off it you can go back on but for me i never recovered.Originally Posted by jspgameboy

Not exactly sure, but doesn't jack3d say something along the lines of don't take x amount of hours before sleeping? I know most pwo do because they acknowledge they can cause insomnia. I took some jack3d once though, slept like a baby that night, had a great work out, no bad side effect. Consider lowering your dose and training earlier in the day so u can take the jack3d earlier

Wait... If I take a stimulant... It will keep me awake?
Huh, I wonder what would happen if I took a sleep aid before training...Log: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=159714881&p=1213186101

Try going to sleep earlier. (srs) I have this problem without taking any stimulants; If I stay up past a certain point it becomes very hard to sleep!

that's weird... since i started taking jack3d i actually get to sleep at a normal time instead of my usual insomnia.. i usually take it around noon and i'm knocked out by 1030pm.. srs. the 'crash' makes it easy for me to fall asleep
I, for one, will tenderly love each and everyone of you.

Yes, I was unable to sleep for 2 days after taking it. I hadn't taken it late at night either. I couldn't believe it, nothing has ever happened to me like that before... The results were ok... Tons of energy but not much strength. Seems like it'd work better for endurance training rather than strength. I'm probably going to go back to N.O. Xplode after I finish what I have.

Yo man I used to have the same problem as you. Make sure that you take when you have an empty stomach. Meaning have it at least 2 hours after you have eaten.
I remember taking it at 6 right after a small - medium meal, then hit the gym 30 min later. By doing so I didn't recieve all the energy until a couple of hours later because of I was still digesting the food I ate. Thus, it kept me awake throughout most of the night. And make sure you only use one scoop. It's powerful sh*t Lol.

I can take 3 scoops pre-workout and I'll still be yawning like crazy in the gym. I need ampethamines or something

Ya i took it at like 11:00pm before i worked out and i tried to go to bed around 1:00am and i was up untill 6:00. If you take any stimulants you should take them 6 hours before bed just to be safe.

My cousin had the same problem with Jack3d. All he did was take it earlier in the day, if that doesnt work find another pre workout or just dont take anything at all.
