Drewsicle3210 gets some much needed sleep with FinaFlex G8

What do you think? No G8?

It depends in the purpose. If you go in with G8, that's a win for FINAFLEX, and for you to see what it does.

If, though, your going in to see what your "normal" sleep patterns are, then I'd go with nothing. If you have bad sleep patterns, going in for a diagnosis on a sleep aid won't help.
 
Yeah for scientific reasons don't use G8 before your sleep study lol. Especially if something is wrong.
 
Fair enough, I just pulled in. An I have my G8 in my shaker. But I'm not going to use it. This is a good thing, because this makes 2 nights off!! ;)
 
I think the sleep study went well. I got hooked up to like 30 wires and some belts, had me ready for bed at 11PM. That is 3 hours after my normal bedtime. Felt silly. Probably looked silly.
I fell asleep pretty quickly, woke up a few times just because, and then as soon as I knew it 0545 rolled around and I was all done. Felt groggy from staying up so late.
The tech looked like skeletor. Anyone remember He-Man and Skeletor? Anyways, I had a crazy asss dream that skeletor was standing over me and I screamed. More like a yell, an it woke me up. I am pretty sure it was audible and they got it on tape. :)

I will be interested in seeing what the results are. I am fairly certain that I do not have sleep apnea. I think there are other factors at play.

I am about to go to a birthday party with my 5 year old. I would prefer my wife went, because I know it is just going to be a bunch of moms, and I not a fukkin social butterfly. I generally could care less about other people that I share nothing in common with. Maybe I will see if I can get some of them into a fitness boot camp. IDK.

Tonight is going to be a happy G8 night.

Skeletor was a scary dude! Glad it went well and hope they can get to the bottom of it for you.

Thanks brother.

I do want to point out again that I took Benadryl and melatonin every night for as long as I can remember, right up until I started this G8.
The G8 works extremely well. Mellows me out, helps me to not stress over everything. And I wake feeling WAY better than with the other sleep aids.
G8 is a solid product for sure. The dang medical providers don't like to hear that though, cause it is a 'supplement'. They would rather everyone be on prescription sleep aids.

Exactly.

Between medications for every sniffle and sneeze along with degradation of our food sources the populace in general is a walking science experiment. Never have there been so many food allergies and inflammatory diseases floating around and these things are surely a cause.
 
Alright men, I had to take another night off from the G8, some craziness yesterday. Anyways, I am excited to get to it to tonight and crank out some zzzzzz.
 
Last night I dosed a full scoop of G8

Laid my asss down 30 min later, tingles, relaxed, sleep.

It took me about 10 min (i think) to lose consciousness. And I slept the whole night through. Woke up at 0400 feeling like a million dollars. Maybe 2 million. This led to an epic workout and a pretty solid day. I was in a great mood all day, until the end. I felt beat, tired, worn out, and I attended a late evening event at my daughter's school. It was neat and I cracked some smiles (rare).
I am drinking my G8 for tonight right now. I can't imagine running out of this stuff. The sleep is amazing. And some crazy cool dreams too.

I will let you guys know how it goes!

And I apologize for the slow updates. Life has taken over here lately, but I am LARGER THAN LIFE, so I am taking it back!! ;)

The dreams are a pretty sweet addition. Mine have been pretty wild since starting and before G8 I would very rarely dream.

I am right there with ya man..
the sleep is deeper and longer for me, than it was on the old version
I do not get quite the same effects as I used to with the relaxtion & content feelings; simply drift off rapidly into a coma
it's different, but I cannot say it is for the worse by any means

and no worries on the updates drew - this does not have to be an every day thing
simply update when you can, and feel the need
 
So I fell asleep pretty damn quick last night. I slept straight through the night, didn't even wake up to pee. This morning I felt amazing.
My dreams last night were vivid. So much so that I started talking to a co worker this morning about something that I thought had happened yesterday, but I actually dreamed it.
Good times.

Lol....cool story, and sounds familiar:)
 
I appreciate the patience everyone. My unit is still locked down. No gym. No pt. No supplements. Not so great food.
I have no idea when we are leaving this place.
The missing equipment was found yesterday about noon. Two Ranger Students were arrested, several more are being held as witnesses.
And everyone is still locked down.
I will resume this log as soon as I can get back home to my wife, kids, and supplements (in that order)

Thanks for the update drew. No hurry just keep getting good sleep and enjoy the rest days.
 
I passed out almost as soon as I drank my full scoop of G8, bout 30 min. Pleasure to the taste buds.
I slept straight through, no waking until 0430.
Vivid dreaming all night long.
When I awakened I felt GREAT!! (Until I thought about coming to work)
Seriously though, I feel rejuvenated.
I called my wife on my way to work and told her today was going to be a good day. My sense of well being is way up over yesterday, and the preceding 4 days.
Damn, I missed my G8.

Nice. Glad you got SOME downn time. When are you off for the holiday?
 
What? Off? I don't know what that means. I haven't experienced this 'off' you speak of! ;)
It was rumored that we will have thurs-Sun off, but i will believe it on Sunday if it happens.
 
Alright people, I am still here. I had some personal issues arise that I have had to deal with, and work has been....Army. But I have the next 4 days off to get my head right and decompress.

I am taking my G8 tonight, in about an hour. I will let you know how it goes.
Thanks for your patience this past week.
 
Drank my G8 last night, and did a swan dive into the bed. I am guessing around 0830.
Only woke once to pee. Well, I guess I woke up again at 0300 and now I am still up. My dreams were almost too real. No nightmares, but definitely some stress inducing dreams.
Well, I feel pretty well rested, so I am going to drink my Pre and get to it.
 
Lemony fresh G8 going down the hatch!! We had a different sort of Thanksgiving today, just us and some pizza, a movie, and some ...peanut butter cookies.
I had a decent workout today, nothing crazy but definitely motivating. Working myself back into the groove. Some family shows up tomorrow, and the rest of them are coming in Sat. We are baptizing our 8 month old and having the Family Dinner.
And then my brother ( RegisterJr ) and I will be hitting the gym.
 
Yes, I'm going to have to TRY to control my eating pre-workout.
 
The last 2 nights I was able to get some decent sleep, some of the best rest I've had in months, thanks to the G8.
I also would like to point out that my mood seems to be improving. This is generally a stressful time of year for me, and with all of the other stuff I have going on I need all the help I can get. The G8 seems to be calming throughout the day, and I am feeling less Anxiety.

Last nights sleep was full of insane dreams. Nothing scary, just super vivid. I actually like it. Sometimes throughout the day I think that I did or said something, but I can't remember if I dreamed it or not. I love it.

The calming effects of G8 are wonderful. About twenty minutes after I take my dose at night I'm in total don't care mode.

my ex-father in law used to drink Stroh's all day long
srs, dude went thru a case every day to every other day
when he used to smoke, he went thru 2 cartons a week
I dunno which is more amazing: the fact that he quit smoking cold turkey after yrs of doing it, or the fact he's still alive

It makes you wonder, you know. My grandfather lived til his late 80s. He smoked his whole life. How long would he have lived if he didn't ever smoke? All he did was pick grapes, eat crazy "food" (100% Filipino), and smoke cigarettes.

All of my parents smoke, an have been forever. No recorded health issues.
Usually you get problems when you quit, but that isn't always the case.
 
Sorry gents, I had a busy weekend and my in-laws just left today. We have been in our annual Medic Training also, so the days have been long.

I have 2 days worth of updates coming today, but I can say I am grateful for the sleep I have gotten, because I need it.

if you are not susceptible to lung cancer from cigarettes, then you won't get it even if you smoke
conversely, I reference dana reeve (Christopher reeve's wife) -- never smoked a day in her life, died from lung cancer
it's all a crapshoot, might as well roll the dice eh

Some people love their tobacco. Personally, cigs make me feel and smell nasty, and dip makes my mouth feel and taste nasty. To each their own, nicotine is a ridiculous addiction. 2nd hardest thing I have ever tried to give up.
