[QUOTE="CROM, post: 191696, member: 16642"] I mean, I haven’t slept in 4 years without taking drugs. I’ve been on TRT for 4 years and I think that is why I cannot sleep well. When I started taking TRT I can only get about 4 hours of sleep. Then I wake up and I am wide-awake, but also tired. I cannot fall back asleep unless I eat a high carb meal. I guess its the insulin spike that does it. I started with OTC sleep aids like melatonin and unison but they only last 4 hours. I tried Zolpidem but that only last 5 hours. Plus, Zolpidem seems to speed up my mind rather than relax it. So then I moved on to using Benzodiazepines and they work great. But studies suggest they weaken the immune system a good bit, and are linked to increased fatal pneumonia risk. Not good combo with covid-19. My question is, has anyone found something or any drug that provides at least 6.5 to 7 hours of sleep? Could it be elevated estrogen causing sleep issues? Has anyone adjusted their hormones to get better sleep. Do growth hormone peptides help you sleep, if so, which ones? I’d try anything at this point. Preferably something that is FDA approved for sleep, otherwise a doctor won't write a RX. [/QUOTE]
