Steroids and sleep

[Prerequisite]

Hey guys

Just wondering if anyone else has trouble sleeping or have weird dreams while bein on gear.
Currently on test e 500mg/wk, week 2 at the moment and im having a hard time falling asleep. I usually get a good 8-9 hours of sleep, last few days ive been down to 5. I feel like this is gonna hurt my gains if I let this continue.
Would taking sleep aids be a risk? Im not taking any AI's or serms atm.

Also, my dreams have been weird as hell, with one being me choking the shit out of someone and I woke up with me putting my pillow in a headlock lol

Anyone with similar experiences, let me know what you did to get your sleep pattern back to normal.

I don't really get crazy dreams while on test aside from more sexually explicit ones. I would expect this type of pattern while on tren as it is known to give insomnia/vivid dreams. I'd try melatonin and a hot shower before bed and see if that helps. Back when I had insomnia, I tried just about every possible OTC sleep aid and never found one that fit the bill aside from a decent sized dose of melatonin, which did leave me a little groggy in the morning, but not everyone experiences this.

Hope this helps.

No sleep problems, but I along with many friends have dreams that are weird as fuck and real vivid when on

I def have sleep problems from the gear. I dont have any weird dreams or should i say weirder than normal. I toss and turn all night.

Just the first few weeks I had trouble. Maybe cause I was excited or I had horrible pip and couldn't really lay on my leg.

I've always had sleep problems so can't say the test has made it any worse but if I were you I'd look into why starting your Aromatase inhibitor (AI) now would be a good choice if you haven't done so already.

Melatonin, Valerian root, Tryptophan, stacked together.

The very first week of my Test-E I had troubles sleeping. Either I couldnt fall asleep, or I'd wake up 5-6 hours later and cant fall back asleep. Also had some weird vivid dreams day 2-3 of Test

 

[romeo021095]

Ive has sleep problems always but it does seem a little worse on cycle maybe because high bp and night sweats

 

[razraz89]

i sleep really well but the dreams are 'vivid as f&ck' as someone else mentioned...been seeing all sorts of things and often I'm questioning whether its a real memory or a dream

 

[Beefcake727]

Major sleep problems with ts400 either couldnt fall asleep at all or couldnt stay asleep for longer than 5 hours. Melatonin and zquil deff helped

 

[Vino 1]

Using Zzzzquil now while on prop/tren. Sleeping ok but sweating a good bit

 

[mudflat]

Toss and turn all night long. Never really getting that ReM sleep!

 

[mrricco2012]

I had a dream last night where I was deadlifting.....scary stuff right there.

 

[sadpanda]

lol usually just wake up from nights sweats

my whole body is soaking wet in the morning lols



for me personally, the best sleep i usually get is from ZMA or GABA the magnesium and gaba are good for anxiety which usually is caused by an increase in RBC counts via gear

 

[imdennis]

first like 2 weeks i couldn't sleep either but after i would sleep for like 12 hours, it was great
