How do I make it? I started lifting like two months ago and barely made any progress because I almost can't sleep two nights in a row.

Go see a doctor m8, sleep is very important for overall health not only gains
Have you tried sleeping more?
>>39139388
Masturbate right before bed.
Always puts me out like a baby.
ZMA, casein milkshake, soothing rain sounds
>>39139388
Work out in the morning
>>39139388
It happens to me all the time.I now just smoke a pipe of weed before bed.
Always puts me right to sleep. I also dont condone doing smoking weed just to sleep but if you smoke anyway use it to your advantage.

Smoking weed completely fucking ruins your sleep quality, you might as well not sleep at all.
ginger, kiwi, bone broth, sleep on floor, window open
no electronics after sundown (not even phone or tv NOTHING)
do some stretching and meditating before bed
have a cold shower 1 hour before going to bed
magnesium supplement might help you too

Worked well when I was 15-18 but now it just doesn't do anything anymore.
>>39139406
Thanks bro, will try that.
>>39139431
I'll try casein, tho I heard taking protein-heavy foods right before bed can impact sleep, you know anything about that?
>>39139436
No time for that (unless I wake up at 4AM which would fuck my sleep up even more), but I usually workout around 5PM so it's not too close to sleep.
>>39139493
I already cut out electronics after 9PM (and I have flux on my computer too). I'll keep the other things in mind, thanks. Why sleep on floor, btw?

That sucks m80
I'm 26 and it still works like a charm
>>39139388
Clean sheets and comfy cold air around the bed helps me a lot.

Oh yeah, 1 whole leg outside of the covers when the room is like ice
>>39139388
5mg melatonin
Breath slowly and relax
Stop looking at screens before bed
Inhale through your nose, exhale through the mouth.
Box breathing is also good.
It's the only think that's really helped me, except for the occasional strong loose leaf lemon balm/passionflower tea. Kava Kava and etc are also good, with well known active alkaloids or whatever
Trazodone will do the trick, but you don't want to rely on medication.

Hahahahahaa you are funny. I've smoked for years sleeping 8 hours per night, never tired during day, never affected gains my gains.
Only down side of sleep I've seen from weed is I dont usually see or remember dreams, but that is why I have long breaks. I might smoke for 2 months, sober for 3 months, repeat.
And how I know it does not affect my gains? Because I take long breaks as I said, and I have not seen ANY increase in progress, gains or quality of training etc. but time alone at home is alot more boring.

Damn this has to count as the gayest post of 2016

>I heard taking protein-heavy foods right before bed can impact sleep
I dunno, I just make a milkshake (2 scoops, 1/2 cup ice cream, 1 cup milk) and have it with my ZMA an hour before bed.
