[QUOTE="jayman2239, post: 242106, member: 44816"] So forgive me for these dumb questions I'm about to ask but I'm 24 years old, a little dumb, and very sleep deprived. [B]I should note that I am not on TRT, my test level is ~550, I actually stumbled upon this thread because I've been having severe sleep issues for the past ~2 years that have been impeding me from getting a job post-college, and have yet to have any real progress towards a solution. Based off what you said in your last paragraph[/B], considering I am sleep deprived (~3-4 hours of terrible sleep every night for the past 23 months or so), could that mean that my ferritin is actually being [I]raised [/I]by inflammation from my terrible sleep, and my "actual" numbers could be even lower? Or am I misunderstanding? Numbers aside, after taking 60mg of Iron 3x per day for a week, my energy levels have gone back to "pre-sleep issue" levels, despite my sleep still being terrible. I assumed this could easily just be placebo, but ~3 weeks later post supplementation I still feel great so I'm not sure if this is just a really great placebo, or if there's something else going on that is worth investigating.
