Dumping some info into a shit thread for sleepcels.- Ignore grammar and shit formatting
Dont be retarded and ignore your body when its begging to rest, Its going to destroy your ability to retain any knowledge, build muscle and bone, and ruin your mental health.
Benefits of sleep-
BARE MINIMUM- Your room should be fully dark at all times, you should be lights out 30 minutes before sleep, If you take melatonin take it 45 minutes before bed in DIM/DARK lights. Get SUNLIGHT immediately after waking up even 10-15 minutes has been shown to increase sleep quality by 25%. Cut the caffeine before bed and actually rest your mind, turn your phone of 30 mins before bed and limit stimilating activity.
Proper conditions- Cold room- 60-66°F is ideal, Find your proper conditions for ex. Many people find calming music to help them wind down, it decreases chances of recurring memories and rekindles that sleep mood.
Common Sleep aids- For those who have a truly rough time falling asleep there are many sleep aids proven to help.
Melatonin- Sounds like a beginners start, truly fantastic as a sleep aid however, it is widely used in treatment of short term insomnia and has promising results.
Benadryl- Benadryl, Ive had a personal relationship with benadryl and i must say its a fantastic sleep aid, however it does come with some side effects, I would typically have to up doses as a my body would stop seeing effects from a lower dose after only a few days of usage. Furthermore benadryl would leave me groggy and tired the next day buffering my athletic and school performance. Something I would recommend with it was iburoprofen since it would calm my body quickly and make me much more comfortable especially after training. I personally wouldn't recommned it for long term use, but once again its more up to you and how you feel.
Magnesium (specifically glycinate)- Magnesium has been proven to aid in sleep specifically sleep length not necesarily helping fall asleep. However this benefit is not to be overlooked as much of the benefits of sleep come from deep sleep. Magnesium glycinate is the best option as it naturally has the sleep elongation factor and is the most bioavailable. Magnesium alone will probably not really help much, however its worth a try to see if it works for you.
DSIP- Deep sleep inducing peptide, not as commonly used as the others but it has one of the strongest effects for benefitting sleep researched quite well, results seem promising very effective in forcing sleep if thats what your looking for, quite pricey and longterm use is not studied well, however has no apparent side effects so once again this is a decision primarily for you but it was used in insomniac patients of short term and long term and benefitted most of the group, however it would primarily only been beneficial in short term insomnia concluding that this should be used short term to force sleep when necessary.
Unnecessary but possible choice
Mk677- Probably one of the most debated topics in general, mesorx, eroids, org and other forums argue its helpfulness in gh production and actual benefits, however one seemingly proven across many users is signifcant increase in sleep quality, although not my first choice its side effects are extremely manageable, in many patients using 25mg and on proper diets their blood glucose rose by only 5-10 mmol/ above baseline creating a minimal side effect for many other positives, completely excluding the gh benefit to mk I believe if used properly it could outshine many of the other sleep aids as the sleep benefit is extremely well reported and seemingly doesnt go away even in longterm use.
THC/Cannabis- Reported as helpful sleep aid, benefits and negatives are very debated today, I mean there are tons of people who have been using for years without really any problems, I think this is doable probably not a first option though.
