Night sweats from HGH

[Kralteramon]

For sure, low bg can cause sweating and the increased adrenaline which releases when bg is low, increases fragmented sleep, can cause nightmares and vivid dreams. Increasing norepinephrine usually does this to sleep. It's partly why SNRI's and stuff like mirtazapine, cause vivid dreams.

Your response to tirz is rather strong so it is possible that this is the reason to your night sweats. And if you started tirz and GH at the same time, then you could have mistakenly attributed the effect to GH.

But maybe it's a combination of both. GH causing insulin resistance, without an immediate hyperglycemic response, lowering glucose availability, and tirz at the same time increasing insulin and decreasing hepatic glucose release ...

I've used Tirz before when I was not on AAS and in higher dosages and did not get the same effects, however my sleep did become more fragmented because of it. Maybe it's the stacked effect of the AAS (perticularely Nandrolone) and the Tirz. But the thing is, when I take out the HGH, my sleep improves masively (still on Tirz and AAS) as per last week's experiment.

But maybe it's a combination of both. GH causing insulin resistance, without an immediate hyperglycemic response, lowering glucose availability, and tirz at the same time increasing insulin and decreasing hepatic glucose release ...

This sounds like a reasonable theory to me as well. Might be that my cells are not getting enough glucose because of this double whammy effect. However I'm still not sure if this would really be it. I'm going to keep experimenting to see if I can find more evidence of the culprit.

GH fragments sleep as is, no matter your BG management. So if you want to sleep normally, stop using it before bed. I was talking only about the night sweats ...

I can attest to the fragmented sleep with HGH. I do have sleep apnea and wear a CPAP every night and have been for years. I've been taking 6iu of Serostim every night before bed and I have no problem falling asleep, but I wake up after about 3-4 hours of sleep then struggle to go back to sleep the rest of the night. I am going to switch back to injecting the GH in the morning and pre workout or post workout as when I was doing this I had no trouble sleeping through the night. However it does still make me sleepy during the day doing it this way. I am also using test and primo. My twin brother takes the same dose of GH nightly and says he sleeps like a rock. He has not been diagnosed with sleep apnea.

If sleep quality deteriorates on GH, you can try different dose timing, but if that doesn't work, it's fine to drop GH.

Good sleep quality is more of a game changer than using GH.

Morning and afternoon split worked. No more sweating during the night and frequent waking up! I'm doing the full 3iu dose in the morning now see how that feels. Snoring does seem to be up so I'm going to get a sleep study done. Also because I need to gain 10kg to hit contest weight and some more on top because I'm not going to bulk with 6% fat .
