can’t stay asleep

[glpfun]

I never had sleep issues until I got shredded. Then nothing helped. Sort of massive calories/carbs.

My theory is it has more to do with increased dopaminergic tone, nervous system constantly being strained, and parasympathetic nervous system suppression. At least it was the case for me, but not sure how well that generalizes to other people.

I let the doctors handle my sleep and I will have a sinus surgery in 2026 to fix my messed up nasal passages, I've done two sleep studies that confirmed that I have OSA but the ENT doctor suggested I get this type surgery where they basically shave your septum and turbinate reduction, to open up my airways

now ive read this thread through.

very simple question i have not seen. have you spoken with your doctor? its his job to help you, could probably get u right in no time compared to all of the stuff you've done

you've tried everything under the moon and still cant sleep let him use his license to run some premium tests for you we cant provide you

My doc is so damn stingy. Actively working on getting sleep meds though, trying Mirtazapine when I get my India pharma order.

just tell him you havent slept in 3 days. that will get him run tests.

either he does or you have a solid case against him

All doctors are cunts that overload appointments by design and then offload the time debt to patients and/or use speciality monopolies to prevent patients from shopping around. Never met a doctor I liked. Just make PAs the doctors, they’re a little more grounded at least.

Can't you get shit prescribed by phone? I've done it before and they send you a digital script. Cost like $30

Couldn’t have said it better myself lmao.

Sounds like a good method haha, I’ll call my doc and say that tomorrow. Genuinely tired of being tired…

Not with my provider to my knowledge? I’ve heard things about Amazon pharmacy and being able to do that. I don’t have the best insurance either (low income unfortunately, as embarrassing as it is to admit it)

Literally can’t wait to get my hands on it. Still waiting for either my PCP or PCT24X7 order rn to get it

I give remeron (mirtazapene) to my client who is 87 supposed to make him gain weight and sleep better and less depressed. It's done fuck all for him. Just throwing that out there. I don't think highly of it.

Always check for OSA (cpap makes bodybuiders live long and much better)
Exclusive nose breathing is a must , i use a nasal dilator/nose vents everyday for years , very useful.
It's much better to combine supplements than adding drugs. There are many plant extracts that work very well .
I'm a lifetime insomniac.
I'm on Trazodone 50 (only drug) + transdermal magnesium + melatonin drops + 1 or 2 of these extracts (cycling): passion flower or lemon balm or chamoumille or mulungu or valeriane.

OSA=OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA

You should have made that clear most people have no idea what you meant.

Doctors have zero liability for anything they do or don't do, things that they overlook. They are above the law and me personally I don't trust the majority of them. They are also largely lazy and reluctant to do their fucking job.
