I am not sure if one can be proud of this milestone, but its fucking weird as heck

>long since you were even thinking of eating unhealthy
>running twice a week, recovered from injury, bordering on pro performance
>still weight lifting
>been eating clean for several years now
>perfect macro's
>perfect habits
>literally perfect everything, not a single cheat or sin even

you know what this gave me? Too much energy.

>be working 40 hour workweek liftan boxan
>get home
>still not tired
>tried to run 30 minutes at midnight in euroland today so I may get a chance at sleeping normally for once

maybe its something else, but that little kick that you get when you are tired, that puts your thoughts to rest and your mind to sleep? I lost it.

send halp pls

I tried getting blackout drunk but even that didnt help

Going for 250x3 on bench should get there by August.

Trying to strict yates 275 too but that's on the back burner while I focus on my poverty deadlift

Hey man, OP here.

I feel ya on the whole trouble falling asleep thing. It's fucking brutal.

I used to head to bed exhausted each night full of junk food, mentally and physically drained from hauling my tubby ass around all day and just dealing with life.

Over the last year of me changing my diet and activity levels, I get a second wind around 11pm every night and usually can't fall asleep until around 2am.

Melatonin and zinc with a hot cup of decaf green tea seems to help a little bit, but sometimes my "second wind" is so strong that I just roll with it and do something productive.

I say if nothing works and your lack of sleep doesn't fuck up your performance at work or school, just roll with it.

To the victor goes the spoils, and I guess that means being fit and healthy means having more energy to do things when other less healthy people are exhausted and passing out.

If you have some things around the house that need cleaning/organizing, go for it. Or spend time reading articles on the internet and learning about shit that interests you. If you have a hobby like music or videogames, treat yourself and use your second wind to indulge your creative side. If there's a movie or TV show you've been meaning to catch, you could always do that. Or you could always just rub one out.

ran four kilometers with ease. Going to try 10 next time.

>>41641322
this is exactly how I am feeling and what I went through, jesus you know this well.

What we have is basically "you only have to sleep like twice every 3 days or so fagget" mode, jesus how is this even a thing?

>>41641322
also to add to my own post:

I tried specific pills, with many ingredients like a normal dose of valerian. Then 2 mg melatonin, then some ZMA, I also bought a tea with even more herbs in it for sleeping

Next up I got some orange tinted sunglasses in case the lights were messing something up.

As a final nail to the coffin I thought that this killer combo could not bested if I added alcohol to the mix...BUT IT FUCKING BESTED IT EASILY

MONKEY BRAIN WHY THE FUCK DO YOU CARE ABOUT THIS STUPID SHIT, NO I DONT WANT TO HEAR ANOTHER MILITARY MARCH. NO THAT GIRL DIDNT LOOK CUTE TO YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP AND GO TO SLEEP YOU RAGING FUCKING FAGGOT

>>41641444

I take 10mg melatonin with my Zinc.

Have you tried taking 10mg of Melatonin and 30mg of zinc with tea/wine/beer before bed?

Sometimes a good skunky beer or a glass of red wine does the trick better than my decaf tea.

>>41641466
I loosely heard somewhere that long term use of melatonin is not that healthy as it impedes your own production. But no, 10 mg I did not use but its pretty much the max allowed dose to have. The red wine, intraresting, I could try that.

But I am basically at a point at going to my medical practitioner to ask what the fuck. It just happened, suddenly a month ago. It is supposed to be a good thing but it messes up my sleeping schedule badly.

And before that I did have some loose days where I literally did not sleep for a day and had few side effects. Still very tired at the end of the day, but only as if you worked really hard at that day, as a normal person, not like if a normal person worked 2 hard days, just one.

>>41641509
Yeah man, I think you're making the right choice going to your doctor. The sudden onset of your sleep issues could mean there's something seriously wrong going on with your brain chemistry. Good luck, Anon. I hope you get better.

A few small recent ones...

>Lost virginity earlier this year to a hot girl
