im running 10iu right now and honestly my sleep is absolute trash. i keep waking up like 5 or 6 times every single night and its driving me crazy maybe that dose is just way too high for me?
has anyone else messed around with their units to find that sweet spot for actually getting a good nights rest because right now im just tired all the time even though im on the good stuff... id love to hear what dose worked best for you guys or if i should try pinning at a different time of day to stop the waking up- let me know what you think because i need some sleep lol
10iu is a massive dose man! No wonder you aren't sleeping. Most guys find that once they go over 4 or 5iu the "growth lethargy" hits during the day but the sleep actually gets worse because of the carpal tunnel or just general restlessness. Try dropping it down to 2 or 3iu for a few days and see if you stop waking up. You can always titrate back up slowly once your body gets used to it.
Bro 10iu is pro-level territory lol. If you're waking up that much it might be your blood sugar crashing in the middle of the night. HGH messes with your insulin big time. Try eating a small snack with some slow carbs before bed or just drop the dose way down. I found that 2iu right before hitting the pillow makes me sleep like a baby but anything over 5 keeps me tossing and turning all night.
honestly i had the same problem when i tried to be a hero and run high doses. i switched my pin to first thing in the morning instead of before bed and it helped a ton with the nighttime waking. it’s like my body was too "revved up" to actually stay in deep sleep when i pinned at night. give the morning pin a shot before you give up on the 10iu but seriously thats a lot of juice haha.
Are your hands numb or tingling? Sometimes that waking up is actually just the start of carpal tunnel from the water retention. 10 units is a lot of fluid for the joints to handle. I’d definitely back off the dose and see if it helps. Sleep is where you actually grow anyway so if the HGH is ruining your rest its basically working against you at this point!
