MikeScienceKeymasterI have the tendency to somehow always wake up in the middle of the night, I am after a deep undisturbed sleep. Aside from the basics like light, room temp, stimulants in body, what sort of things can help to induce a deep nights sleep where I won't awake multiple times. Some problems with a broken sleep1. Wake up tired2.GH release is disturbed3. Wake up tired (deserves to be listed twice!)4. Lack of sleep will affect growth and recovery from workout.-> Also I believe the backload has something to do with it, yes carbs make you sleepy, but all that food in your digestive tract will certainly cause issues with getting a good undisturbed nights sleep right?

Brandon D ChristParticipantStop watching television and using the computer 2 hours before bed (or anything with an electronic screen). It really does help, I have tested this with a Zeo. If you do have to use the computer, download f. lux for your computer, it will adjust the brightness and colors of your screen to something less stimulating.

Richard SchmittModerator^^+1If anything use GABA or melatonin. I use an App called Naturespace that really helps me relax before bed

Trevor G FullbrightModeratorGet orange colored glasses.They block out blue light so that you don't have to turn off all electronics before bed.I find having some coconut or MCT oil before bed after a re-feed helps my sleep.Take a cold shower.Take supplements, there are plenty of difference options.

Brandon D ChristParticipantOh yea magnesium citrate, potassium (any form will do), and GABA I have had a lot of success with and use every night. Other sleep supplements, valerian, melatonin, and tryptophan have made my sleep worse. I think you just need to find out what works.

Orange colored glasses, I never thought of that, but it sounds like it would work.

MikeScienceGuestI'm not for taking any more supplements than I already do, but anything more natural would be preferable. I'm not interested in micro managing “omg i cant sleep unless i take my melatonin!!” for example. Good ideas though, thanks,.

Well it's only micro managing if you make it that way. i certainly have no problem sleeping without m supps. You can also look into earthing, that has helped my sleep very well.
