Let’s talk about sleep on cycle

It’s no secret any sort of blast (and honestly even TRT) makes sleep harder. What’s even more crazy though is that I personally feel a massive difference from being fully rested with 7.5-8 hours vs 6 hours. Oftentimes I have early awakenings at the 5-6 hour mark and feel pretty miserable. That said, on weekends and on days I go to bed early, I have ample time to power through the misery and fall back asleep to get the full 7.5 hours. But some days I don’t have the time for that, and have to just suck it up with less sleep.

Is the only solution to just go to bed earlier? I stopped taking sleep meds because although they make me sleep more, they also make me more groggy and make me require even more sleep like 8.5 hours, which is a lot of time that adds up

5mg melatonin 2 hours before you want to be asleep. This will eliminate the grogginess. A lot of people take melatonin right before sleep and that's the wrong way to use it. It sets the stage for sleep, it doesn't induce it.

It's also excellent for increasing your natural GH pulses while asleep.
