Gh dose for best sleep?

The first few days when I started GH before bed at 2 iU I could barely sleep at night.

1 week in and my sleep became better

Now 3 weeks in and upped to 4IU and I sleep so deep I sometimes think my dreams are real.
 
When started with gh the first few weeks it really messed up my sleep, probably cause it gave me so bad neck pain. Then from 3-6iu I really slept like a baby. Nice dreams. Woke up rested… but now at 8iu I sleep deep and long but sometimes those dreams are so realistic that they really exhaust me sometimes. But all in all it improved my sleep
 
damn 10iu is a massive dose no wonder your sleep is totally trashed right now. i tried pushing it that high once and i was basically a zombie during the day because i was waking up every hour on the dot. it is super common for high gh to mess with your deep sleep and give you that crazy restless feeling. honestly try dropping it down to like 2 or 4iu just to see if you can actually close your eyes for more than an hour... you might find that "less is more" when it comes to not feeling like absolute garbage. sleep is where the growth happens anyway so if you aren't sleeping you are just wasting the gear man.
 
holy crap 10iu is a monster dose no wonder you feel like garbage man i cant even imagine how restless you are right now. i tried pushing high doses before and i was basically just staring at the ceiling all night dripping sweat and feeling like a zombie. for most people that deep restful sleep usually happens way lower like in the 2 to 4iu range because once you go too high it just stimulates your system way too much and ruins your recovery. honestly id try cutting that dose in half tonight just to see if you can actually get through a full sleep cycle without waking up because sleeping like shit is just going to kill your gains anyway. stay sane man cause that sleep deprivation is a nightmare.
 
By any chance are you taking Retatrutide? If so, that may be the culprit. Definitely try Magnesium Glycinate and Melatonin before bed, those will likely help regardless of what you're currently taking. TBF, it could be a slew of things. It might be worthwhile to make a laundry list of all the compounds that you're currently taking, and begin subtracting—HGH is sleep supportive.
 
Im on 10iu and sleeping like shit. Wake up at least 5-6 times a night. Maybe its too much? Anyone ever played around with dose to see what gives the best sleep?
10iu is a pretty big hit. Waking up 5-6 times fits classic GH stuff: cortisol/adrenaline spikes, possible night glucose swings (CGM or a glucometer tells the truth), plus water retention making snoring or mild apnea worse. Basically your body is partying while you’re trying to sleep. I’d lower the peak by splitting it into 5iu in the morning and 5iu later, or just move it all to the morning and see if sleep stops getting wrecked.
 
Yeah so I had a sleep study and have sevre sleep apnea. Got on a cpap and wake up 5-6 times a night. Idk if its the machine or something else. I guess maybe its the machine needs to be dialed in. I havent tried cbd will give that a shot.
 
When i first started taking the gh peptides i slept amazing would sleep all night not wake up once. When I switched to actual gh I dont get the same sleep and I did with the peptides. Could also be im so heavy im almost 270lbs.
 
Im on 10iu and sleeping like shit. Wake up at least 5-6 times a night. Maybe it’s too much? Anyone ever played around with dose to see what I’ve been taking one IU since April 2025 and I’ve been sleeping fantastic. But I do other things in addition to this (TRT) my ring monitors my sleep, sleep quality has definitely improved I remember my dreams. I dream every night now. I’m not sure if that’s an indicator of quality sleep, but my ring is the metric that I use. Most and it feels good.
