Any Insomniacs here who still hit the gym on only 3-4 hours sleep?
« on: March 30, 2009, 07:50:36 PM »
Im lucky to get 4 hours of sleep a night but still try and hit the gym 4 times a week for about an hour. Any other insomniacs who still hit the gym? What are your secrets and how do you keep going?

thanks for your time.

I actually had a harder time when I was sleeping 8 or more hours a day.

Now I don't sleep more than 5-6 and I hit the gym 4-5 times a week.

i really cant function without sleep. i could never go on 4 hours regularly. the worse my sleep, the more i need to push myself to go to the gym. i dont know how some guys do it, but im not one of them.

I cant wait til my sleep study in June..hopefully they find out whats wrong with me. my schedule is a mess for the last 8 years and just keeps getting worse. always been a night person but this staying up sometimes til 6am is total bullshit! I can stand the sound of birds chirping when Im hitting the pillow  :(

maybe its just how Im wired.. my dad was the same way.

Have you tried watching any of Jay Cutler's videos? If that doesn't work, perhaps the following link might help

If that doesn't make your brain want to shut down to sleep, you must have a serious organic problem.

Nevermind, i apologize for any rude comment i ever have made against you.

Try to lay down on the bed and then with every breath, let your feet get heavier and heavier, then progress up the body.

You'll be asleep before you reach your arms.

Sounds rough, big man. Do you smoke pot? You could try having a good smoke and eating a huge meal with shitloads of carbs so it makes you crash straightaway, although I know you are used to stronger stuff than that.
