[QUOTE="Fortunate, post: 214476, member: 42264"] For me, one of the biggest upsides to TRT has been better energy. However, I sometimes wonder if I should be content with the energy I have? I am currently 49. I get up pretty early - usually 5-6AM every day. I drink a decent amount of coffee, but am done by around 8AM. I use Natesto three times a day: typically around 7:30AM, Noon and 5PM. It's not the 6-8 hour window that is recommended, but is simply easier for me to stay on a convenient pattern. With the above, I generally have decent energy (not Superman, but decent). But, I usually get super lame in the early evening. Some time around 8-9PM every night, I start to feel the need to hit the sack, and I am generally in bed 9-10PM. I recall when I was in my late 30's being able to stay up late at night and work on side projects. I remember John Crisler saying something along the lines of: "A guy's most productive hours can be after 10PM" and TRT helps him keep that. Side note: years ago, I struggled with sleep and it was a major fuel for migraines that I have suffered from since I was young. So, I have been on Trazadone and low dose Doxepin to help induce and maintain sleep. Not ideal, but it seems to work. While my sleep requirements are not unreasonable (I feel best on roughly 8 hours), I wonder if I should feel so tired so early in the evening? Like many others here, I have bounced around on various forms and protocols of TRT. When on injections such as Xyosted, I probably have more overall energy compared with being on Natesto. However, too much of a good thing can be bad, as it has also disrupted sleep for me. While I think I have a reasonable amount of useful energy, I also feel a bit like an old man when I am out with my wife and friends past 8:30PM. I am curious how others perceive their energy levels, both on and off TRT? [/QUOTE]
