do sleeping pills affect muscle gains?
i have sleeping problem,i will have a try,thank you,guy!probably not, but if you need them, you have more important issues than gains to think about.
Here's what has helped a lot for some of my friends with mild insomnia:
Try some melatonin.
No tv, computer or electronics an hour before bed. No carbs for your last meal. Dim the lights a little and read a book or magazine for 15-20 minutes while in bed. Also make sure your room is dark and on the cold side.
You'll be solid asleep for a good 8 hours.
thissleeping pills should not halt your gains at all unless your cup of tea is recreational use. It may take a couple of hours for you to be sharp enough to put in a valid workout though so i personally would try to shift my training to afternoons if possible. I never took sleeping pills but i have taken potent anti anxiety meds periodically in the past and i found their sedative effect actually beneficial to my post workout recovery and rest. Not sure if that was psychological but i got good gains both on and off the pills. Opiates even if taken as prescribed over a longer term will kill your appetite and make you scrawny so stay away from oxycontin and like substances. Had to take those for three months once for severe dental pain following some dental surgeries, still trained like a,mofo or so i thought, was trying to bulk at the time and somehow ended up shedding nearly 15 lbs in 12 weeks. Came back fast after stopping opiates.
