indeed
one of the greatest conspiracies of the 20th century, damn cigarette companies making this product intentionally addictive while steadfastly adamantly claiming to be innocent public servants and denying all such claims

You haven't tried giving me up yet. That will be the hardest.
 
Dec 2nd update

Epic sleep session. Everyone was wrecked from the weekend on Sunday night, and I drank my G8 maybe 1930. Right after that I snuck off to bed and killed some Zzzzz.

Last night was the last night that my in-laws were staying in town. they told me to go to bed because I looked worn out. So... I drank my G8 at 1800!! And racked the fuk out.
Best sleep in a long time.
I have been going with just over a scoop, like when you scoop deep and it has that hill on top. Perfect dose for my brain.

Updates to follow
 
Looks like i have been slacking on these updates.
I didn't take the G8 the past couple of nights. Gotta make sure I cycle it proper.
I am looking forward to drinking it tonight though. My sleep last night was bad. I got home around midnight and maybe fell asleep about 1-130.
Woke up to another wonderful day feeling tired an cranky.
But, I have the day off today, so I am going to knock out my chore list, do a solid workout, and sleep like a baby....early.

I slept like a baby last night. We watched a couple movies and chilled out.
I drank a scoop of G8 right when the second movie started, and I rode the comfort cloud through. I don't think I have ever been so relaxed on that couch. The kids kept interrupting my peace, but that's just what happens. Kids.
Went right to sleep when I laid down, woke up 2 times to use the restroom, and woke feeling like a Boss.
I needed that sleep man. And looking forward to tonight's as well.
 
Another great night last night. Stayed up until about 0200, an had to wake up at 0730, so I went with 1/2 a scoop of G8 about 10 minutes before i lied down.
Fell asleep within minutes.
No wake ups through the slumber.
Still having legit vivid dreams.
Woke up very easily and I felt pretty darn good for 5.5 hours of sleep.
Had a great day today, saw some family, made some positive decisions, and made a plan.

Until tomorrow

5-6 hours is pretty normal for me during my work week and when I get to take my G8 it makes those short sleep sessions very productive.

The G8 helps immensely. I slept like a brick last night. Glorious sleep, but I did not want to get up this morning. A solid 8 hours though.
 
G8 update.
I slept HARD last night. No dreams that I remember. I had to pee, but I didn't get up to do it. When I woke up I had one of those ridiculous pees, that you get tired of standing there so you lean on the wall. Yeah.
I feel pretty good now, but I had a tough time getting going this morning.
I have to go get my TRT shot here shortly and a couple of appointments at various places.
I went to visit my family down in Florida yesterday. Had a great time. And we went and saw my Grandparents gravesite. I had a special relationship with them, and I miss them a lot.
Anyways, I have been slacking on my logs and general AM presence, and I am back at it 100%.
Have a great day!!

Got me some g8 on the way. Can't say that I'm not looking forward to it. I would like to get the sleep you keep describing.

I always have this type of sleep with G8. Very restful, usually I wake in the position, I fell asleep. No dreams.
 
I don't experience dreams at all on G8, and like wasme , mine are normally night terrors so that's a HUGE reason I'm so hooked on G8.

Mine are typically disturbing, so it's nice to not remember them.

I have disturbing dreams sometimes, but never anything that scares me.

I love the relaxation that I get from it. Mellows me out, helps me come down from my Adderral.

Night terrors suck. I had a buddy that got beat up regularly by his wife at night, because she has them bad.

See with some sleep aids I tried I had awful dreams...what's worse is not being able to wake yourself up.

A twenty minute long dream of someone slitting your throat while you are awake and not being able to snap out of it is pretty awful.

That is exactly what I get. (not the throat slitting - mine is more a presence around me, something bad about to happen). But my night terrors have a level of paralysis in them. And like you, I have tried some other products that make it worse because things become that much more vivid.
 
Last night's sleep session was uneventful. Slept like a brick again. 8 hours uninterrupted.
I have been waking up freezing in the mornings the past couple of days. I went to look at the thermostat and our house was 75 degrees. And I sweat all night long, but that has been going on for a couple of years.
I am about to down my G8 and get the kids to bed, then I am hitting the pillow also. I need to get up early tomorrow and get my workout in, because it is a long work day and I won't feel like it after work.
 
G8 is making me feel great!
Slept great last night, still didn't want to get up this morning, but I got up at 0500 and headed to work.
No dreams that I can recall.
I did not wake up to pee either. I have been slacking on my water uptake though. I think I only got in just under a gallon today, and I ate 2 MRE's during work, and some breakfast for dinner. You don't want to know what the breakfast was, but be sure that I ate too many calories for having not worked out today.

G8 going down in about an hour

Make sure to stay hydrated! So important buddy.
 
Sleep last night:

I fell asleep within 20 minutes of drinking my G8. But I slept like shiit. I was coughing all night and blowing my nose often. I definitely feel like I have some upper lung involvement.

Anyways, I can't really gauge my sleep very well, other than I felt rather refreshed this morning. I slept in until 0700, which is like a weekend for me. My wife took our daughter to school and let me be due to my ridiculous coughing fits all night.

I just drank my G8 for tonight. I will be breaking from it for Friday and Saturday.

G8 night!
 
Last night was about as perfect as it could have been. I slurped down my G8, and dove into bed like an olympian. I am pretty sure I was out within 5 minutes. I was still coughing most of the night, and I woke up with a sore throat an some shortness of breath. This cold weather isn't helping either.
No dreams that I can remember. No midnight pee sessions.
I woke up feeling pretty damn good, except my chest/head congestion and sore throat.
 
Seems like everyone is having coughing fits right now. Tis the season, I suppose.
Each MRE is about 1100 calories, sounds like you had a biiiiiiig day.

Keep pounding the water, it seems to help clear up my chest a lot of the time too. Hope you feel better. At least you have G8 to give you some good recovery sleep.

It shows in my waist line for sure. I need to quit eating them.

Seems like new symptoms pop up every damn day. Smashing some water down, but still not enough. I had a debilitating cramp in both Hamstrings during 'special time' with my wife today.


After 2 nights off of G8, I am more than excited to drink it tonight. I have to go in to work at 2000 to help out with sick call for all these damn Ranger Students that are going on Christmas block leave. I hope it doesn't take too long. I usually try to start laying down about that time.
 
I didn't get my G8 down last night because I didn't get home until after 0100. Tonight I took Nyquil because I feel like hammered asss. I don't know about mixing G8 with Nyquil, so I am not going to try it.

I will be going to the doc in the morning.

No NyQuil + G8. Just to play it safe.
 
MAN, so I went to the doc today, and she basically confirmed what I had already diagnosed for myself. Sinus infection plus Bronchitis. I also had a chest Xray done to rule out Pneumonia, and it came back negative. I didn't think it was pneumonia anyways. But my throat is BAD, and this coughing and shortness of breath is not cool.

I am taking the nyquil again tonight, and we'll see how it goes tomorrow. I have plans to work out tomorrow, but if I feel like I do right now, no fukkin way.
 
Sissy
 
I just slammed my scoop of G8. Man I missed that taste. I am looking forward to getting some goof sleep tonight. No nyquil because I think the worst is behind me, but then again I feel so great at this time of night. I hope this lasts through until the morning.
We have secured our temporary rental property, and we are paying the deposit tomorrow. I am going to try to work something out with the homeowner to let us start moving the bulk of our stuff into the house early. I don't know why they wouldn't, you know?

I am sure they will let you. As long as you don't live there early (perhaps insurance laws and so on?).

Well sounds like someone is going to get a good restful sleep tonight. Perhaps it will help knock the sh1t out of your deathly cold.

Well I slept like shiit. Well, that isn't entirely true, I slept good for the 45 minutes that I got, and it actually made a noticeable impact on my state of mind.
Up until about 0500 this morning, I had all but given up on sleep. My wife woke up and told me to sleep as little or as much as you can, and I did. Until 0600.
But something about her caring words soothed me into a coma.

I cannot properly evaluate last night's sleep with G8. There was definitely some other factors at play.

What I can say is that the G8 mellowed me out a bit and tasted phenomenal.
BUT, I was wide the heck awake from 2100-0500, lying there with my eyes shut, auditory hallucinations. Miserable. My haw hurts from the clenching and grinding.

You know what is a possibility? i may have taken either an Adderral or some other stimulant with my night time dosages. That would explain a lot.
I am doing the G8 again tonight, no sleep meds or nyquil, and I will be very careful about what I pile drive down my throat after 1500. ;)

We'll get to the bottom of this. It occurred to me as well that quite possibly I was having a 'flashback (so they are called) from some naughty substances that I used back in the day.
Weird.
wasme suggested hydration and electrolytes, so I will take that advice and let you know how the day goes for SGT Reg's wellness mission.
 
interesting..
I had me a night of "sleep" (rather lack thereof) myself the other night, same as you describe here, staring at ceiling for hours on end, maybe 30-45min sleep total at best

I honestly cannot remember if I took G8 or not however, as I been sporadic with that since I been sleeping all over the place and not in my own home ..
been crazy times this way
