I’m about two and a half weeks into my new cycle - running 400mg of Sustanon and 300mg of NPP every week. Ever since the second week started, my sleep has been totally trashed and I’m just not feeling rested at all. At first, it was just really intense dreams and waking up soaked in sweat, so I started taking 0.5mg of Arimidex every three days. That actually seemed to fix the sweating and the weird dreams, but now a few days later, I’ve got a different problem.
I’m struggling to even fall asleep now, and when I finally do wake up, I feel exhausted no matter how many hours I got. The dreams and sweats are gone, but the fatigue is real. Does anyone know what might be causing this or how I can get my sleep back on track? I’d love to hear some suggestions on how to fix this.
also npp itself can just be weird as hell for some people mentally and sleep wise even when everything looks fine on paper. sometimes it’s not just estrogen being the villain, sometimes the whole combo is just stirring your brain up. bloodwork saves so much guessing here cause chasing symptoms alone can turn into hormonal whack a mole real fast.
also once sleep gets disturbed for a week or two, it can kind of spiral on its own even if the original trigger changes, so it’s not always a simple “fix the compound = fix sleep” situation. if anything i’d look at stability first rather than chasing each symptom individually, because right now it sounds like your system is just not settling into a steady rhythm.
what happens a lot is people fix one symptom and accidentally push things too far the other way, and sleep is usually the first thing to fall apart when that balance is off. that exhausted but wired feeling + bad sleep quality even after enough hours is something guys often report when e2 isn’t sitting comfortably, not just when it’s high.
what usually helps most guys is simplifying things for a bit instead of reacting too fast, because every adjustment takes a few days to show its real effect. once sleep gets disrupted like this it can lag behind everything else for a while
honestly sounds like you might’ve swung from high e2 symptoms into low e2 territory a bit too hard. every time i overdid arimidex my sleep turned weird as hell like tired all day but brain still wired at night. sustanon also had me feeling super up and down compared to smoother esters
