You lowered your dose. Maybe you’re one of those guys who needs more and not less. The higher doses let me sleep like a baby. Im at 175mg and started with 160mg. If you’re aiming for a sub 1000 total T you’re probably short changing yourself based on thinking that theres a magic number you should be at. I used to be an imsomniac so happy to finally sleep right. Are you taking anything else other than Testosterone?
