I’ve seen many posts about Sermorelin helping with sleep. My sleep has been quite poor for months and I’m trying everything to improve.
The folks who have had success with this for sleep: Was your IGF-1/GH low, normal, high?
My IGF-1 is naturally at the high end of the range and is consistently well over the range with 200 mg/week testosterone.
I’m curious if Sermorelin will do anything for me as I seem to already be in good shape from a GH standpoint.
Have you identified the reason for your poor sleep? You may want to determine root cause then work to resolve it rather than throwing another compound at it.
Having said that, Sermorelin, Ipamorelin/cjc1295 and for that matter GH all reportedly help sleep in many people, especially immediately following injection.
Yes on the root cause. A woman lol. I’m looking for band aids until I can resolve.
Oh thats easy - FIND ANOTHER ONE!
I need you as my life coach.
Seems the suggestion is premature until we have more info. He may end up with the same problem with the next given how well he is eating and training.
She took me to her castle
And I just couldn’t believe my eyes
She had so many devices
Everything that money could buy
She said sign your name on the dotted line
The lights went out and Nikki started to grindOhh Nikki
The castle started spinning
Or maybe it was my brain
I can’t tell you what she did to me
But my body will never be the same
Her lovin’ will kick your behind
Oh, she’ll show you no mercy
But she’ll sho’nuff sho’nuff show you how to grind
Darlin’ Nikki
Ohhhh
HOT and humid right now.
It will not help with your sleep and likely not with anything if your IGF-1 is already high.
Also have you considered this in the context of your AAS intake? Better sleep on true replacement T doses?
Avoid Blue Light/Screens a few hours before bed. A small snack prior to bed helps, too, especially if you are in calorie deficit.
Supplement wise, Melatonin (3-5 mg) works for me with no groggy morning side effects. Studies also show it may help increase brown fat (good fat) and calorie burning. Mixed reviews but it’s a winner for me. I can sleep without it but get to sleep faster and sleep longer with it.
For sure. Before the woman troubles started my sleep was impacted by the testosterone, but nothing crazy like now.
The roids are the now probably the only thing allowing me to deal with all the physical and mental stress. I’m sure my cortisol is crazy high all the time right now. The roids are magic lol.
And remember: Love is like a fart. If you have to force it, it’s probably crap.
Sermorelin is what I use and it has been phenomenal. My numbers were fine but a wellness clinic prescribed it anyways, based on stated symptoms. Have not had a second test yet but am curious to see if values have changed in any way.
I don’t know why I started having trouble sleeping. No major life changes, I generally don’t have any caffeine beyond morning coffee, haven’t seen any party powder in years, am aware of dietary pitfalls like chocolate and other hidden stimulant sources et cetera. I think just turning 40 was the kicker.
I tried valerian root, chamomile, magnesium, melatonin et cetera in various combos. They sort of helped but left me with a hangover or an untested feeling in general. Very poor sleep.
Sermorelin has been incredible. It knocks me out and I stay asleep. I wake up with a very natural, well rested feeling that stays around all day.
I have some gym buddies who use Ipamorelin/cjc1295 and they say they feel like sleep is better but it doesn’t put them to sleep, which was my problem. Sermorelin does, and improves the quality of your sleep.
Each compound works through various mechanisms. It’s my understanding Ipamorelin/cjc activate igf-1 to a much greater extent by working through specific receptors, which gives growth an obvious advantage.
Sermorelin also causes the release or orexin, which is evidently why it’s better for sleep.
Both will give you an end result of optimized GH levels, to me it’s just a matter of picking which secondary benefits you want. Orexin and sleep onset is the one for me.
Scroll down to Sermorelin and sleep. This link is not intended to be an advertisement, shared source or anything other than info from a simple “Sermorelin and sleep” google search. I use a local clinic who prescribes through a local compounding pharmacy.
Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated. I have a consult with my roid doctor Friday and am going to discuss options for sleep.
Ah yes the good ole consult down in Tampa. You are in the right spot. We are almost twins but I am guessing you are better looking haha.
Either of you from FL?
Officially…parts unknown here.
I would not want Carma’s team to find me. I have been sworn to secrecy as part of the TOT witness protection program.
But unofficially between us…it sure is f’n hot and humid outside 
.
I feel like that Indiana Jones dude who finds the chamber of gold but cant carry all that stuff out before the big stone door closes.
LOL I get it. True story… I was on a McLaren Car forum a few years back. Its just one of the super cars brands I’ve owned. Anyway, I posted a story about a car I almost bought and declined because I found out it had bad history. Salesperson didn’t disclose that to the company that ended up buying it and I got FOUND and subpoenaed for a deposition based on one freaking post. Cost me several hours of my day… but they found me.
Cool story. I am dropping off the forums and going to my bunker. There is someone outside my house, just pulled up…
I live in the northeast but visit the Tampa area several times a year.
Take 600-1200 mg of ashwaganda before bed.
Ashwaganda lowers cortisol levels (stress).
High cortisol levels have been linked to insomnia, waking up during the night, and less sleep time overall . When cortisol levels are normal, the hormone helps you wake up in the morning (when levels are higher) and drift off at night (when levels are lower)
