sleep

I am high shbg, consistently over 55-65 (range 15-55) I am currently on 40 mg test 2x per week and 360 iu hcg 3x per week. I am getting very inconsistent sleep and feeling up/down throughout the week. I know high shbg typically go with larger, single injections but I’m worried that even more...

Hey there - been back on trt for about 3-4 months. Currently on the following protocol: 40 mg test-c 2x weekly 360 iu hcg 3x weekly .0625 anastrazole 2x weekly - I was on .125 anastrazole 2x weekly but my e2 was at 24.5 and I was still having joint pain so I decided to cut the dose in half to...

A few things in my protocol changed recently: I switched from T cream (applied to the scrotum) to injections (200 mg), I added Danazol (25 mg EOD), and I added Metformin (500 mg AM & PM). Around the time of these changes, I started experiencing sleep issues: either waking up early in the morning...

Has anyone tried using quality blue blocking glasses? If so, did you notice any positive benefits to using them? Just watched this episode of SuperHumanRadio, and I ended up buying a pair. The evidence seems pretty compelling.

Started TRT about a month ago, and currently on the fourth week of my current protocol (120mg Test-P a week, 666ius HCG a week, and .3mg AI a week, all split into 2 shots every 3.5 days). I haven't noticed many significant changes (benefits or negative side effects), though I guess I could say...

Hello everyone, I'm a 33 year old Male who has been working night shift as an RN for about 12 years now. My sleep schedule would usually be going to sleep at around noon and waking up at 8-10 pm. I've notice it starting to catch up with me over the last few years with noticeable mental and...

"Screens emit a blue light, which inhibits the bodies ability to relax into sleep. A 2014 study found that users that read on an iPad before going to bed took longer to fall asleep, felt less sleepy at night, and had shorter REM sleep compared to those who read books, reports the Huffington...

I would consider myself a TRT success story except for one thing. I have never at any time in my life had an issue with sleep but now that I have my numbers dialed in, TT of 1000, FT of 25, SHBG, E2 and DHEA all within normal range, I wake up at 3:00 AM every single night and am unable to get...

Researchers find that daytime naps help your brain deal with unconscious information. A short sleep can improve brain processing speed. Scientists looked at how subjects performed on tasks they were not consciously aware of. Maybe you knew this already, but daytime naps are good for you. But...

I inject M morning and Th evening. Sometimes on Th evenings it's hard for me to get to sleep. Should I just deal with it or could I just do like M and Th morning injections?

These are labs from mid Week 7: Total T: 957 ng/dL (264-916 range) Free T: 25.6 pg/mL (8.7-25.1) E2 Sensitive: 60.6 pg/mL (8.0-35.0) SHBG: 27.1 nmol/L (16.5-55.9) This is really high, right? I've also ordered a complete follow-up panel but because of Defy's scheduling quirks, I had to wait...

For as long as I can remember I have slept pretty good. For years I have been going to sleep around 10pm and wake up around 5:30 am. I have been on TRT for 4 months now and for the last 2 months I have been waking up earlier around 4:30. At first I was thinking maybe I had to urinate earlier as...

I know I will get mixed responses here - half the people think that high estradiol is the root of all evil and the other half thinks that it is harmless! I began TRT roughly 7 weeks ago. Protocol is through Defy - 70mg T-Cyp, 500iu HCG, both E3.5D. I have not had BW done since beginning...

Men who sleep soundly are less likely to develop prostate cancer, a new study suggests. Higher levels of melatonin, a hormone produced at night which helps regulate the body's internal clock, were linked to a 75 per cent lower risk of developing an advanced form of the disease. But those...

I have heard it touted that TRT may improve sleep quality. Has this been proven by research? And what is it about TRT that might lead to better sleep? Thanks, paco
