I'm struggling hard. I want to make it to the gym in the early AM. I do the things listed below and I still feel groggy when I wake up.
>Go to bed and wake up same time
>No caffeine after 1 pm
>No screens within 45 min of bed time.
>Dark and cool room.
Idk what more I can do. I typically go to bed at 10 and wake at 5. Anyone got any tips?

I guess sleep more? Not everyone needs exactly 8 hours but I'm guessing 10 to 5 is not enough.
Sleeping more would mean going to bed at 945. I dont know if I want to do that because I'm not really tired then.
5-htp and magnesium glycinate seems to help a little for now. Maybe it‘s worth a try for you too.
Would a multivitamin with magnesium be better or straight magnesium?
I‘d just take the magnesium (glycinate has better bioavailability. Or get magtein.) because most multivits are actual shit and contain the cheapest and least bioavailable forms of vits and minerals. Often they also contain maltodextrine, which will definitely not help with sleeping.
Is that why when I take them my pee is neon from B12?
Yeah, that happens to me too. What b12 is in it? The cyanocobalamin?
I dont know the exact one. I just take the men's one a day.
What brand?
The brand is called one a day. You can buy them at target and other retailers.
Pic rel?
>calcium CARBONATE
>maltodextrin as the third ingredient
>cyanocobalamin
Yeah nah anon, sorry but that is total crap.
Yeah this is the one. I don't know much about multivitamins. My doctor said I should take them though.
Multis are usually shitty, but if you must get something like pic rel instead.
damn Mario is caked up
I’m kind of at a loss here too.
>lights off, no screens an hour before bed, blue filter thing on any screens I do use starting at 5pm
>no caffeine after 1pm, intake limited to 200-300mg
>quit weed
Finally made it so I was falling asleep at about 9pm, waking at about 4am-5:30am. Felt great. Was waking up rested, exercising before 6am, had energy.
Then it flipped after a few weeks and I’ve been oversleeping. Like 10 hours of sleep. I’ve had issues under sleeping or not getting a good restful night of sleep and even then I could generally still force myself to wake early. But never oversleeping. I replaced my mattress realizing the one I was using was old and had a dent in the middle. But there’s zero change.
I’ll set tons of alarms and I either sleep right through them all, or I wake up for the first one and beyond any control of my own my eyes instantly shut and I’m asleep for a few more hours sleeping through the rest. It’s like I wake up on that first one and I’m only 1/8th the way awake and I don’t even quite realize where I am or that I’ve just woken up.
I’m wondering if my 2 months of iodine supplementation and then stopping suddenly could have done this, seems to have started when I stopped now that I think about it.
God i wish that was me. Maybe your body just suddenly remembered how to sleep and now has to catch up years of sleep deprivation?
That’s something I considered but it’s been a good month+ since this began. And it fricks me over the same way lack of sleep does. I spend the entire day feeling as though I just woke up minutes ago.
My desire/goal is to get back what I had ages 17-21 where I’d sleep at 8pm-10pm, wake up 4am-4:45am, and just be awake. Like the second my eyes opened I was up, and even if I was a little sleepy I still had the alertness to climb out of bed and jump into a cold shower, lift before 7am, study notes, go to morning class, then work on assignments, etc. I need that shit back I was unstoppable on that routine. I’m trying to get a job and this will frick me over big time if I’m not able to get back to that/be up early before work.
Pls just a crumb of hopium.
If I could do it once I can achieve it again.
This is what keep me going on every aspect.
>Boohoo I miss her
If I got a b***h that hot once, I can get one that hot again and feel that way again, maybe even better.
Proven true, did it again. b***h was even hotter, a little better relationship wise. And if I could do it twice I can do it a third time.
>yawwwnn frick I wish I could fix my sleep this sucks
If I had it perfect before, I can get it perfect again.
The issue, idk how the frick to do that and I’ve been trying a lot. Like frick I even replaced my mattress.
Anyways there’s your crumb. And if you’ve never had good sleep consistently, then

If you feel groggy when you awake, you are likely waking in the middle or nearly after a REM cycle. It takes a long time to enter, and to exit REM. The average male needs 3-4 hours just to reach it, you spend roughly 2hours in it on and off, and then you transfer back to light sleep in preparation of waking. These are just the averages, but I would suggest trying to allot yourself 8-9 hours instead of sub 7. If you still feel tired, go to 10. If at 10 you're still tired, something is preventing you from either properly exiting and entering REM, likely something dietary, or could be due to excess/blue light at the wrong times.
You can also work in the opposite direction, and this is the practice I follow; if you're going to get less than 7 hours, it's typically better to cut your sleep down to 4 or less to prevent you entering REM at all. You will be groggy the next day and mentally tired, but you shouldn't have any trouble rousing in the morning, or functioning so long as you don't do this multiple times a week.
Sleep debt is also a factor, the more rem you miss, the more your body tries to get done in a night, resulting in a longer than normal sleep period, so make sure you account for this.
I mean I can probably get away with sleeping 10pm to 6 am. I just have tk be at work at 8 so I'd have to be home and showered and out the door by 745 the latest. Which is cutting it close. If I can go at 545 that's no so bad. I just really don't like going tk the gym at night because it's crowded and as a semi beginner I just want to get in and out.

Adding something to distract my mind helped me immensely, especially since it further enforces a routine if you stay on theme. I listen to weird call in shows where boomers complain about how Bigfoot keeps eating their chickens and how praying to Jesus really keeps the werewolves at bay, and I'm usually out in 10 minutes. Play on low volume, of course.
