Hello all. I’m considering starting HOT-ROX soon and based on the way my day is structured and when my workouts are, I’d be looking to take my second dose a little later in the day that most might, but I’m concerned about sleep problems.
To those who have used HOT-ROX in the past, I’d like to get your input regarding HOT-ROX’s stimulant nature and your sleep patterns. I’d like to specifically ask,
1.Has taking HOT-ROX ever led to difficulty falling asleep for you?
2.If so, what is your general cutoff time for taking HOT-ROX to avoid any such issue?
3.For those that did experience trouble with it, how much trouble do you generally experience sleeping when you take more common stimulants late in the day such as caffeine? I.E. how susceptible to sleeping difficulty from stimulants are you in general?
I normally have problems falling asleep but I would take my last dose (2 caps) of HOT-ROX at 5:00p.m. (1 hour before meal 5) and I never felt any difference in trying to fall asleep
Most say to avoid taking it after 6 if you are stimulant sensitive
To be honest, the effect was more of a warm, happy-go lucky feeling than a just all-out wired feeling. This stuff is great for me personally, you’ll know how you will react once you take it.
Start off just taking 1 pill a day and bump it up if you feel you can handle it.
I just ordered a bottle of HOT-ROX myself for the first time, but I have taken other thermogenics before.
Personally, I am sensitive to stimulants so I would take my last dose at 4, which I plan to do with HOT-ROX.
However, if HOT-ROX is a lot stronger then I might take it even earlier and move my workout back an hour or two.
Guage it within the first few days of getting it, and do what it says on the label, start with 2 pills/day, then move it to 4/day if you can handle it.
I take my HOT-ROX Extreme on non work out days. I never take my last dose past 4pm. On work out days, I’ll take Spike 45 min before I work out. Never have problems sleeping. Start out slow and see how your body handles it. You should be fine. Biotest makes some of the best supplements out there.
to me, I’m not really sensitive to stimulants, but the one thing I had with HRX was that I had to take it before 6PM or I wasn’t falling asleep til 2AM or later.
That was the only effect I had from HRX, as far as stimulants go.
It has given me trouble sleeping. I try to take my second dose between 2 and 3PM. If I do that I don’t have any trouble getting to sleep around 11pm-midnight.
I have to take it before 10 am and even then it can rev me up if I had a hard leg workout. Extra vitamin c and magnesium help to relax your nervous s ystem
After taking 4 HOT-ROX-Extreme the first day I had them and spend the next 48 hours awake. I decided to stick with 2 a day first thing in the morning. I would wake up 30minuts before I needed to be up, pop two, fall back asleep and wake up 30 minutes later. One time I didn’t and I had some crazy ass dreams.

same with me…I would take a dose like at 7am and then again before 2pm…I had no problems sleeping when I did that…after 2 created sleep problems for me(it actually goes to show how effective the supplement is…)
on occasion, if I needed to be up late, I would postpone the afternoon dose to like 4 or 5…so I could be king of the party and not be falling asleep…
and not be falling asleep…
