Trouble sleeping

[luc-k]

I've been taking Tirz for 3 months, currently at a dose of 5mg per week, and I'm having trouble sleeping. Is anyone else experiencing this? Any tips? Unisom helps a little.

Any more info?

Are you in a calorie deficit?

Are you working out?

When I'm in a large calorie deficit, I try to fill up on protein for dinner and that seems to help. Keeps something in my stomach to signal my brain that it's full.

When I started out I had some tough nights. Drink plenty of water flush your kidneys

Taking Tirz w/ a calorie deficit & eating no carbs... I never sleep. I am researching sermorelin and ipamorelin and maybe a little indica cannabis and it does help get me to sleep, but I don't stay asleep for very long.

I went though a period on insomnia. I think for a couple reasons. The first was that I was having reflux and lying down made it worse. I learned that I can't eat late and I started splitting my dose to lessen the reflux. The second was that I lost so much belly fat that I had to change sleeping position. I can no longer sleep on my stomach as it causes my back to hurt. I have an old, bad back. I have learned to sleep on my side and that helped a lot. I don't have insomnia any longer.

You can try an extended release dose of melatonin to see if that helps. I definitely notice that my sleep is worse when I go up in dose but then seems to stabilize in the following weeks.

I believe I'm around 1800 to 2300 calories per day. I'm not working out, but my job burns a lot of calories.
Melatonin doesn't help, hydroxyzine makes me sleep, and valerian root also helps me relax, but on its own, it’s not enough.
Today, I'm exhausted from work, so I'll go straight for the valerian + hydroxyzine combo.

I had a lot of trouble sleeping on tirz my first 2 months. I think what helped was eating an hour before bed. Protein shakes might have helped also. I also tried dsip, ipam/cjc-no-dac, glow, extended release melatonin, and other things. Those didn't help. I started splitting tirz doses and added reta. That might have helped. I was trying everything to fix my sleep and energy problems. No problem now in my 5th month. 5mg tirz every 4 days and 2mg reta every 4 days. I haven't figured out if taking them on the same day is better or worse.

I agree with what @tk2020 says below you.

Save your calories for night meals, when possible. Try to fill up on fiber and protein if you're doing low carb. See if being full helps. It should.

If you're active at work that can raise your basal calorie expenditure well beyond your intake.

It's one of those immutable human laws--hunger takes precedence. Sometimes, whether you feel it or not.
