AgeForce is knocking me the f*** out with the Melatonin Patch

[kaikara]

AgeForce has given me the opportunity to log their Melatonin Patch. Thanks, Mattrag! I'm starting this log before I even get it in the mail so that people will get a better idea of my current sleeping problems and have something to better compare it to.

What I like about this is the time-release of the melatonin. I've tried oral melatonin before and while it may help a bit once it kicks in, I still constantly wake up at various times throughout the night. And the added GABA is promising to help me relax and fall asleep quickly.

A little background on my current sleeping habits.

I have problems not only falling asleep, but also staying asleep. I wake up constantly, every couple of hours during the night, tossing and turning. I'm tired all day long (doing the little head bob at my cubicle fighting to stay awake, crossing lines on the highway because I'm falling asleep at the wheel) because I can't get a solid night sleep. I've tried 3z, melatonin tabs, benadryl, and ZMA to help me sleep, all with varying degrees of success.

This problem of not being able to get a solid night's sleep has been going on for years, and in that time I've tried lots of things to change diet, before bed habits, varying size and softness of mattresses, sleeping with a partner and sleeping alone. At one point, I thought it may be contributed to the fact that I workout after I get home from work, since I'm taking a stimmed pre-workout at 5:00pm and trying to get to bed between 9 and 10pm, but then I realized I have the same problem on nights I don't workout and weekends when I workout earlier in the day.

I have school on Monday and Wednesday night. So my current workout schedule is:
Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, every other Friday (I get my daughter every other weekend), and most Saturdays (usually while my daughter is napping on the weekends I have her). So, about 4-5 days a week.

Current 1 rep max lifts:
These were all done this past week.
I know the lighting isn't good on these vids. I'll work on that.

Bench: 300 lbs


Squat: 415 lbs


Deadlift: 465 lbs


I'm sure I could lift more if I were working on my own natural energy aided by a pre-workout rather than solely relying on a pre-workout to get me through it. I take no other stims throughout the day, it's not something I want to rely on to function. On days I don't workout, I don't take stims at all, and I do take regular breaks every couple of months to reset my stim tolerance. My stim tolerance is pretty low right now, it doesn't take much at all to have me wired. What a wonder it would be to feel a stim effect on top of a natural, energetic high. That's what I'm looking for out of this.

Saturday night (1/28):
Last night, I went to bed at 11:30pm (had homework to do). I tossed around for a bit and finally fell asleep. I woke up no fewer than 3 times before my alarm went off at 8am. I was so groggy, I hit the snooze alarm three times before I got out of bed. That's usually how my morning goes. It didn't always used to be that way. I'd like to get back to waking up feeling refreshed and jumping out of bed. This is particularly a problem during the week when I need to be getting up to go to work. I'm on salary, so I don't have to be at work to punch a clock at a certain time, but I'm rarely on time.

Once again, a big thank you to AgeForce and Mattrag for this opportunity. I'm watching the mailbox with excited anticipation!

In for this. It sounds like you just have an all-around stressful life with work, school, and a kid. I hope this product proves to be helpful for you. I will be watching, as I too will be logging the Melatonin Patch.

Yea, that's my living room.

It's a Powertec rack with the cable tower, bench, with preacher pad and leg curl attachments, i have two straight bars, one ez-curl bar, two olympic dumbbell handles, four standard dumbbell handles, a couple of attachment for the cable tower, 600lbs of olympic weights, and about a hundred pounds of standard weights for the dumbbells. Just about everything I need. Paid $300 for the rack, cable tower, bench and accessories. That's a $1200 set for just the rack and tower new. I love craigslist.

Subbed..Good luck and I look forward to your results. One thing I will be watching for sure is to see if you get that hangover feelinmg and headaches in the morning. I know that is what some of the side effects were for me with various types of Melatonin products I used in the past. I always slept good but a lot of the time was still tired the next day and had a massive headache..Again, good luck..SJ

I've experienced that hangover feeling as well, though AgeForce has apparently fixed that with the transdermal system making it so that you don't have to wait hours for your body to start making use of it.

So, Sunday night was horrible getting to sleep. Tossed and turned for more than an hour, then when I finally got to sleep, my dad pocket dialed me at midnight! Argh! Was quite rough getting out of bed at 5:30am. Well, that's when my alarm went off. I think I finally dragged myself out of bed at about 6:05am. I didn't feel awake for a couple hours after I got to work, then by the time 2pm rolled around, I was dragging, and struggling to stay awake during a meeting.

Monday night was alright. I got to bed a little later because of night classes, but I fell asleep fairly quickly. Woke up twice during the night.

I know I flip around a lot while I'm sleeping. I may need to setup a video camera to see what's really going on. It's a truly unrestful sleep.

Note: This is still pre-patch.

Tuesday night, Jan 31
Went to the gym to workout with a friend over lunch. Was so tired by the evening, I thought for sure I'd get a good night's rest. Went to bed at 9pm and fell promptly asleep. Woke up at 11:20pm wide-eyed, tossed and turned forever trying to go back to sleep. If I get this patch and it keeps me asleep for at least 6 hours, it'll be a miracle.

Subbed -- Just because I'm interested. I'm surprised by the amount of sleep problems today. I have some, but minor compared to many.

Wednesday night, Feb 1
Went to bed later because of classes. Slept like crap. Woke up twice during the night. Horrible time getting out of bed. Got to work later than I like.

Thursday night, Feb 2.
Got to bed at 10pm. Slept straight through the night (weird). Still had trouble getting out of bed this morning.

Friday daytime, Feb 3
10:30am, falling asleep at my desk.

Been hitting the gym this week on a 7 day pass with a friend from work. He's been working me like crazy. Going to hit legs in about an hour. Obviously tired, will be hitting the gym solely on the fumes of my chosen pre-workout.
