Somehow my lifts are going up despite my body feeling like shit. A-am I finally leaving humanity behind?
Does anybody else lift on less than 4 hours of sleep
Nope. 9(pm)-5(am) master race.
Nope I never miss a wink of sleep
7pm to 3am boomer race
Maybe you’re one of those people that only require 4 hours
No my body always feels like shit when I wake up. My body literally wakes me up for no reason then doesn't let me go back to sleep.
Nay. 9pm to 8am mega ultra race.
Yeah. I did that for about 6 weeks. After a while my vision got blurry like it was hard to focus, i kept forgetting what i was doing when i walked in to rooms, it took forever to make even small decisions like where to put my glass on the table, i was very socially withdrawn cus poor energy. Then i got the flue cus little sleep = weak immune system. My lift still went up which was kind of weird but i felt like shit.
Fuck sleep deprivation
no, you're just starting. eventually humanity will catch up with you and gently start tucking you in earlier and earlier. or you'll stop lifting
Please get yourself checked out
would Jow Forums reccomend 9-5 or 10-6?
10-6 during daylight savings, 9-5 on standard.
Keeping that shit up will eventually hit harder than a w88 warhead. Please sleep.
fell asleep at 1:30am last night and woke up at 6am, full day of work ahead. ugh i'm tired
based schizo night lifter goblin man
This is ideal, but I can never maintain it
I'm not starting though, I've been lifting for 2 years. I just Dumbell bench pressed the 90lb dumbells for 5 reps.
I have the same problem. 4-5h average per night.
But I feel like it fucks with my progress.
I'm progressing slower than most people I think.
Insomnia is a bitch. I do don't know why it suddenly came on.
this
3am to 12pm here. I sleep for 10 hours minimum. Gotta stay pretty.
I wish I could get 5 hours regularly. Sometimes I can go back to sleep when I wake up, so I end up getting 6 hours. The last time I got 8 hours was a few weeks ago when I broke down crying in front of my mom, cause the insomnia was causing me to be depressed.
Society has killed my brain, everytime I sleep I feel like aboslute shit when I wake up aching body,bones feel shit, still tired af all day long, haveto sleep twice a day sometimes to not faint, body forces me to wakeup 1 second before alarm goes off or sometimes like 3 times a night for no reason takes 1 hour to go back to sleep, literally living in hell
Do you think it's modern Life in general that causes insomnia? I've heard tons of Americans are on sleeping pills. I'm thinking about becoming one.
The body aches are because your mattress is bad.
how can my human body be so fucking weak makes no sense, how the fuck did people not die 2000 years ago sleeping on a fucking pile of shit, how can my bed be too bad for my body goddam shit ass scuffed body
It's just old. The mattress, I mean.
I accidentally fell into this routine for the past week, loving it!!
There's no better feel than knowing you have a full day ahead of you.
Quit all drugs including coffee and nicotine. Order blackout curtains and magnesium glycinate and take before bed. I went nine months sleeping like four hours a night and this helped it. Ten minutes meditation before bed helps too. You have to start having good sleep hygiene. This is probably related to anxiety
Lately I've been sleeping in two shifts, 3-4am to 7am, and 6-7pm to 9-10pm. Energy levels feel surprisingly normal right up until I approach one of those time periods. Supposedly they used to do this in medieval times n shit and still do in moorish spain
I'm 18 and don't drink or smoke, whatsoever. I think you're right that it's anxiety based.
and there is no worse feeling then knowing u have to go to sleep when literally all the interesting shit starts happening
Usually the reason for insomnia is anxiety. It's funny how your body builds up tension even if you just chill inside the whole day. We are meant to move and go, sitting on our asses just builds frustration and that kills sleeping cycle.
I bet 100 dollars that if you join the military, you will forget insomnia because you're forced to be active and social for the whole day.
And yes ofc you have tried. But I'm not talking about trying, but maintaining, forever.
Then just stay up and sleep later.
I've had insomnia even when I walked 3 miles(in addition to lifting) home every day from school. Insomnia doesn't care how much you physically exert yourself. I think you have to exert yourself at something that you KNOW you enjoy doing and that has a positive impact on your life.
>doctorate program fucked my sleep schedule to ~5 hours a night
>graduated in 2015
>continued the habit, only just recently am back to 6 average, sometimes 7
My body made a full time adjustment and 5 or 6 seems fine. Are my gains perma fucked because I can't sleep 8?
Thats what ime doing but then I feel like shit waking up THERE IS NO WINNING AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I had "insomnia" too when I was younger. Im still a bad sleeper. But the reason behind it is that I'm anxious (I hate to admit it, even tho I try to hide it) and I had to deal with it and start to work on it. It was hard but progress has been great.
And since we're on fit, it's sade to assume that +50% here have either mental problems to some extent or are just insecure which builds up frustration.
What a load of horse shit. Insomnia is not some sentient being that will stop fucking with you because you "know" you deserve sleep. You will sleep when you need to sleep. You just feel insomniac because you can't sleep on command, which is because you don't know how to control your sleep cycle. You probably have a job or something. I don't and I sleep when I want for as long as I want. Usually I get up after 10am.
You're scared of sleeping? Waht? What anxiety is keeping you awake? Nothing but caffine keeps me awake.
I've been a NEET for the past 6 months since I graduated highschool early. I've insomnia for the last two years. I don't understand what's wrong.
Just my personality. It's hard for me to chill. Even when I read a book I usually shake my leg or something. And I used to create negative feedback circles easily.
Tell me, when you have a sleepless night, what goes through your head? Do you think: "oh, what a beautiful day. I'm sure I slept good last night. I'm going to smile the whole day!" or do you think: "fuck I'm soo tired of all this.. I can't make it pass this day with such a little sleep".
Positive feedback is what people like me have to get into. You can lie your brain to enjoy sleeping to the point you're not getting scared of trying. And when nothing can go wrong and you enjoy it no matter what, youre chill and you will fall asleep.
I move between houses regularly. I sleep more at one house where my bedroom is away from the kitchen and road. People also leave me alone in that house by 8:30am. I sleep like a log until 11am sometimes.
Other house has me right near the kitchen and everyone is up and doing shit constantly. I tend to wake up really early there. You maybe live in one of those houses with lots of noise.
I did heavy rack pulls yesterday and got 3 hours of sleep. My hands and upper back don't feel so good.
