[QUOTE="GreenMachineX, post: 198039, member: 15245"] I believe I've had an epiphany and have been looking at everything all wrong for years. At some point, I eventually came up with the conclusion that the testosterone was causing my sleep issues, as in too much testosterone. But I never really considered why during the first 2 years of therapy at 160mg weekly and 120mg weekly I was sleeping great. Probably because it took a couple months after the drop to 100mg for the sleep issues to arise. When I first switched to 20mg eod, then increased to 22mg eod, I slept better than I did in years. But, now that I see where my trough was on the eod protocol, versus the 100mg per week protocol, then compared to the >120mg per week protocols, I'm now convinced that my t was too low with the 100mg per week and now again since dropping to 16mg eod. I'm getting 5 hours sleep and feeling like trash again after my workouts. But those 8 weeks on 22mg eod, workout recovery and sleep was great. All the aches and pains are back too. Does this make sense? At the same time, I have to control my hgb/hct, but I can't live like this with these sleep issues. For what it's worth, the sleep issues I mean are falling asleep fine about 9 or 10pm, but then wide awake for hours at 2am. Sometimes, I can fall back asleep if I load up on melatonin like I did last night then taking more at 3am, but I'll feel terrible after being awake for a few hours from the residual melatonin in my system. Or, is this where dhea and pregnenolone should be making the difference since those levels are very low too? Bump those up instead? [/QUOTE]
