Once you hit a certain age, there is no drug, sexual activity, or other high that can compare to a good night of sleep.
When I started to sober up in my mid 20s I stopped being able to sleep.
You don't eat enough carbs, especially sugars.
The frick are you talking about that's absolutely not true.
i believe he’s referring to carbs lowering cortisol, seeing as cortisol is supposed to be at its lowest before bed time so melatonin secretion occurs and you can fall asleep with ease & without disruptions. stimulants and stress and lack of sleep contribute to higher levels of cortisol which suppresses melatonin production and leads to sleep issues
Right but I can promise you it's not my diet. Like I said it started when I sobered up and I've tried many different things and been through different diets. Even took melatonin which seemed to have zero effect. You know what helps? Not being sober.
I'm pretty sure it's a bot that posts that comment in every thread
this is why you eat a pintance of choccy b4 bed for sweat dreams; Carmel and even neco wafers will suffice
>i fricking love neco wafers
homie just drink choccy milk b4 bed 1200 cals in a gallon, im not fricking 10 a pice of chocolate or a singular candied sweat isn't gonna keep me up your fricking dumb
nta but not having enough sugar in your diet will absolutely frick up your sleep
>i believe he’s referring to carbs lowering cortisol
fricking cortisol? you dumb motherfricker, don't weigh in on shit you know nothing about
your body uses stored glycogen for energy while you sleep, which is primarily gained from carbs
>As a meal containing carbohydrates or protein is eaten and digested, blood glucose levels rise, and the pancreas secretes insulin. Blood glucose from the portal vein enters liver cells (hepatocytes). Insulin acts on the hepatocytes to stimulate the action of several enzymes, including glycogen synthase. Glucose molecules are added to the chains of glycogen as long as both insulin and glucose remain plentiful. In this postprandial or "fed" state, the liver takes in more glucose from the blood than it releases.
when your glycogen stores run out while you're asleep (say, because you're a fricking moron who stopped eating carbs because some israelite "doctor" on youtube told you to) then your body spikes cortisol to basically tell you to wake the frick up and go eat some berries
>To carry out its essential overnight repairs and cell rejuvenation, your body uses energy in the form of glycogen which is stored in the liver. During the night, these glycogen stores get depleted at a rate of 10g per hour, of which 65 per cent is used by the brain.
>If this energy supply runs out, the liver send stress signals to the brain in the form of the hormone cortisol, alerting it to wake up until sufficient levels are restored. This process can result in broken sleep, which you may not even be aware of, but can often leave you feeling tired and lacking in energy the following day.
why the FRICK is IST the most embarrassingly ignorant board when it comes to basic biomechanics? there's more to maintaining your body than lifting, you fricking morons
read a BOOK
you’re a dumbass. everything i said is factual. don’t get emotional and throw a fit because we’re talking about two different things. your moron ass still managed to circle it back to cortisol with your findings
>your moron ass still managed to circle it back to cortisol with your findings
you didn't even read my post, you dumb b***h
running out of glycogen while you sleep causes cortisol spikes
literally nothing to do with
>carbs lowering cortisol
you WILL be cursed with insomnia now and forever until you learn to read posts before responding to them
the best is sleeping so well you have to wonder if you slept the whole day
My favorite is when you take an afternoon nap and you wake up 2 hours later sweating with zero clue of where you're at or what time it is.
Sleeping doesnt do anything for me anymore ever since i became a machine i dont feel tired so i dont get the relief from not being tired anymore when i wake up so i never sleep because why would i.
I cant consune drugs anymore either.
But i think im happier now without those thinga because i no longer need to think about existential dread i no longer have a lifespan.
This is really dumb but I suffered from awful nightly sleep for a very long time and I was advised it might be because I take all my vitamins, specifically my Vitamin D supplements at night as Vitamin D inhibits melatonin production (this makes perfect sense).
So I stopped taking them at night and yeah I sleep a lot better. I still wake up very early but I'm usually drowsy enough to drift off back to sleep. Before, when I was taking my D at night I'd be wide awake at 4 in the morning.
funny, my mom says taking D at night helps knock her out to a sleepy slumber
Interesting...I do think Vitamin D is a big reason as to why I'm waking up so alert, there's also other factors at play for my improved sleep.
>I started taking a scoop of beef gelatin powder every other night or so unless I am eating beef or steak for dinner (high in glycine, helps with REM sleep).
>Often will drink snoozy time tea before bed which does make me drowsy (but sometimes makes me have to piss in the middle of the night
>I stopped reaching for my phone if I wake up in the middle of the night.
>Probably most importantly, I've had a lot of stress in my life lately (both external and self imposed) and that's died down significantly in the past couple of weeks.
Anyone tried a weighted blanket?
Id do anything to improve my sleep
We have a weighted blanket and I like it but honestly it's not big enough. I would need the coverage to be "even" for it to work.
I have a huge floofy red one that weighs like 30lbs I use to sweat out sickness.
you must be getting some shitty drugs in the good ol' usa
take a trip across the Atlantic now and again
This + taking a good dump
A workout+a dump+a shower+sleep is pretty much my ideal evening
and that age is zero
Wrong, I'm 35 and having a cute blonde do a line off my dick is still better than sleep.
Have I just not hit that certain age yet?
>a cute blonde do a line off my dick is still better than sleep
How is that the least bit pleasurable? Frick off.
Hahahaha
I'm a bit older than you but 35 was the age things started going south as far as sleep quality.
That sucks. I can drink a coffee in the evening and I can still drift off to sleep pretty easily. Soft drinks keep me up though for some reason.
Nothing beats the third hour of gooning
Did anyone find success with better sleep after quitting caffeine?
I still have trouble sleeping but yes. I'm so sensitive to stimulants I cannot drink coffee past 10. And actually I drink gree tea instead now. I read coffee has something in it that tea doesn't which is also known to increase anxiety
That mid-day or evening nap is divine.
>Bed to myself
>Legs and arms splayed like a skydiver
I love it more than anything else.
pic is me when i start lucid dreaming and i give myself superpowers and start flying around to beat and kill black ppl (i did this last night)
Going to sleep at night after spending all day sleeping is godtier.
When does that happen?
I'm 31 and I absolutely hate sleeping. I hate having to go to bed and I hate having to wake up. I hate when I don't sleep enough and I hate when I sleep too much. Even when I get the perfect amount, I still feel unsatisfied because it meant I had to sacrifice time and effort to get to bed at the correct time.
I wish I could stay awake forever but alas, the flesh is weak.
yo thats literally me fr fr
