Having Trouble Sleeping - Please help

[Lil Ze']

It doesn't matter what I do. I just can't sleep. So I'm wondering if any of you know of sleep aides that work and by work I mean put you asleep, keep you asleep and don't leave you groggy in the morning. Lunesta, Tyenol PM, Ambien, Xanex, Valium & Klotopin don't work for me. I've also tried ZMA which is definitely interesting, but not sure if it works. Sometimes it put me to sleep sometimes it kept me up.

Keeps me up.

I have a friend who literally works out hardcore right before bedtime... in order to sleep. Some people get pumped up after a workout sesssion. But he does cardio until he can no longer do it anymore. Takes a hot shower, and then passes out.

Hell. Hmm, not sure of much else that won't make you groggy. I know plenty of things that will put you out, but you'll wake up all fuckered up.

[Lil Ze']

Exactly. That's the problem. The next day is horrible.

Problem is that may/will affect your body's natural Melatonin process.

Im one of those guys that Bekah described. After a hardcore training session (mostly strongman stuff, but sometimes gym lifting if it is intense enough) I come home and just lay on my bed. If i dont have anything to do, ill pass out, if not I need about an hour to be able to function again.

its worth a shot.

Sometimes working out works, sometimes it doesn't. I've ran/walked my dog before bed and sometimes it makes me tired and other times it hypes me up.

Try benadryl. Its not for sleeping but it will put you out.

Ambien is probably a bad idea. Funny stuff about it.

Then I really don't think you're working out hard enough.

I don't think jogging or walking the dog is "hardcore."

Thats dead on to what everyone else said.

The point everyone is trying to make Ze, is for you to push yourself to physical exhaustion.


On a side note, you could try drinking a bottle of JD and pass out. It may not be on the bed but youll be sleeping. lol

[Lil Ze']

Trust me I have worked out hard enough before bed. Running/walking my dog usually involves 1-2 mile run, with pushups, situps and cool down.

[Rogan]

Are you on any anabolics?

[Lil Ze']

No.

[billybongthorton]

ITE until you can no longer hold yourself up, everybody is groggy in the morning quit being a sissy

[BAMF]

Oh yeah, while we're asking. You on anything like Cocaine or Methamphetamine, or any other upper?

[MianoSM]

What kind of booze consumption do you have?

[Lil Ze']

I'm not on any drugs and the only time I drink is on the weekends and its not much 3-5 drinks if I'm lucky. Sometimes 0.
