Hi,

Since a few months, i´m having a lot of sleeping troubles.

I don´t know if it´s related but suffer from general anxiety disorder and agoraphobia with panic attacks. However, sleeping was never affected by that.

It used to be the best part of the day, when i finally could rest my mind.

Now, i´m having trouble to fall asleep and wake a lot of times during the night (sometimes only 2 or 3h after) without falling asleep again for a while. As if not enough i have very vivid dreams and the most of them nighmares.

On the next day i wake tired with the feeling i haven´t rested. Even if i wake up for myself and not with the alarm. Theres some nights i only sleep 5 hours, wake up and can´t sleep more. Other nights, i fall asleep again after a while and sleep during the morning which messes even more with my sleep cycles.

I´m really confused because from what i know, the nightmares/vivid dreams occur during the REM sleep, but it seems i can´t get deep sleep like i should.

I don´t know if it´s important to say, but the way i fall asleep better is watching tv series and/movies on computer. I know it isn´t recommended but if i won´t watch anything i turn and turn on the bed and nothing..

I´d like to know your opinion and if theres any supplement i could try to improve my sleep. I´ve tried some in the past and almost of them induce me vivid dreams/nightmares and those i already have. On the beginning can be funny but not after a while. I woke up even more anxious.

So, do you know of any sleep aid supplement that could help me to have a deeper sleep and could eliminate the nightmares? I think this seems a non sense question but i really like to hear your opinion.

Thanks

I'd talk to your doctor first off to ensure your underlying issue could be fixed without supplementation maybe. Several sleep products work. I used to take 5g of GABA before bed as it helped with anxiety and helped me rest. 2.5mg melatonin does the job also. I slept very well from HGHup.

I don't know of any supplements to help with that but I know a few things you can try that have helped me to sleep a bit better (not 100% sure about the science behind these things but hopefully someone can correct me if I'm wrong).

1. Heavy lifting (strength training) in general seems to help tire me out to sleep better. (Strength training supposedly improves sleep quality in younger males).

2. Get some sunlight in the morning when you wake up and take hot showers at night before bed. (This helps your body produce more melatonin).

3. Avoid stimulants after noon time (hopefully this one is obvious)

4. Avoid watching TV, computer, phone etc. while trying to sleep. (The light from these screens can trick the brain into thinking it is day time).


Hopefully this was helpful to you.

X-Dream 2...that stuff was awesome

I just take some benadryl

[braxbrah]

ZMA is a staple of mine, wouldn't sleep without it ever now. Used to wake up tired, suffer from ****ty spells in the night where i'd wake up occasionally or fail to fall asleep. Since I got on ZMA then no such problems.

I have here a rest of GABA, i´ll try it tonight to see the effect. I remember i fall asleep better, but when i taken it i hadn´t all these problems.

I live in Portugal and unfortunately the shipping costs from Nutraplanet to here are a lot expensive..

[Lholden1220]

Zma works like a charm for me. Take it right before bed. Its real cheap too!

Thanks for the tips..

I lift almost all days of the week and i don´t take any stimulants because my anxiety.. For the rest of the tips, i´ll try them, thanks

I have to take a look at that..

[DoubleM101]

Concerning to ZMA i´ve tried on past and indeed it helps my sleep. The only thing i´m afraid are the nightmares. When i took it, it gave me very vivid dreams.. But now i´m having them too, so i think i won´t loose nothing on trying it. It´s a product to consider

I think these should be the first tips to follow, especially the second one.

Once you have tried these different tips, you can look into a sleep aid product like Sleephoria (which we will be releasing in the near future), Lights Out, Poseidon NT, etc.

[Ajerone]

As a dedicated sleep supplement I like Poseidon Night time. Ergobolic sleep is some of the best I have ever had, though, for sure.

2 caps lights out + 2 scoops poseidon nt = my favorite sleep combo

[horizons]

Doxylamine (restivat) will work guaranteed but can be addictive. Get it over the counter

ZMA + melatonin is always good

The old endosurge is amazing for sleep (good balance of mucuna helps sleep)

Don't mean to state the obvious, but have you tried improving your sleep hygiene and giving it at least a week or so to take effect. Your mind will be stimlated from the movies and light the TV produces. Go to bed the same time every night, at least an hour before use no electronic equipment and ensure your room is dark. Why don't you try reading some fiction before bed to relax instead of a movie. It make not work immediately, but surely your body will re-accustom itself to its natural sleep cycle after a certain period of time if given the chance.

What's your favorite flavor for Poseidon NT?

[mtinsideout]

I've never actually found a sleep supp that works, but some of these I haven't seen before. ZMA, melatonin, valerian and tryptophan have never done a damn thing for me but I also didn't look that deep into it at the time. I'll have to revisit some the newer supps out there for the nights when I trouble sleeping and don't have any booze to put me down.

[TheSwanks]

I'd recommend REM8.0 and some therapy to help with the underlying issues. Good luck man!

[swim15]

are you using trenbolone?

[cjszip]

I hear Cognitive Behavior Therapy is a good supplement. Consider discussing your anxiety disorder with a good clinical psychologist.

[TruthWalker]

Phenibut!! Works great for anxiety/stress-relief during the day and helps you sleep better at night. I highly recommend it.

[cjszip]

Phenibut has some (understatement) potential for addiction and abuse. ESPECIALLY for an individual who suffers with generalized anxiety disorder and agoraphobia with panic attacks...
