Having Trouble Battling Daytime Fatigue Need Some Advice

[supertrucker212]

For the past 2 months I am struggling with daytime sleepiness. Since I drive truck I don't wanna have an accident and this doesn't seem to be going away. It usually comes on between 10am - 2pm. It happens just about everyday, except for Sunday when I don't work. Sundays I train from around 9:30-10:30am. Mondays, Wednesday, and Thursdays I train in the evenings after work. I arrive at the gym between 6:30- 7 and train for about an hour or so. I've considered going to a doctor, but don't wanna tell a doc about gear use. I did that once and came out of there feeling like a fucking meth addict. I've considered things like diabetes, narcolepsy, fucked up REM cycle, not enough carbs. Could gear use have something to do with this? I do get 6-7 hours sleep a night. I know i should get some blood work done anyway. I work 50-60 hours a week, sometimes more, so getting in to the doc is often a struggle. I actually cut back on my training this time of the year due to increased hours. I don't have any symptoms of overtraining. As a matter of fact I'm having some of the best workouts ever, my strength is going up. Here are my first three meals of the day:
Meal 1 shake- 2 cups of whole milk, 2 tablespoons of peanut butter, 1
cup of oats 3 scoops of whey, (I don't have time to
cook in the morning)
Meal 2 shake- 1 cup of whole milk, 1 tablespoon of flax oil, 2 scoops
of whey
Meal 3- 8 oz. of chicken, 1/4 cup of almonds, lettuce, crutons, and
some bleu cheese, (I cook the chicken on Sunday so the rest of
it only takes minutes to prepare the night before, that's why I
go with this for lunch)
Here's the rest of my stats, 5'4 195lbs, 750mg test e/wk, 100mg of tren eod, ( I only run the tren for 6 weeks at a time), 40mg dbol/day, (only run the dbol 4 weeks at a time),. I know it's alot of info, but I'm trying to get accurate answers. Thanks

I'm gonna say its the "lethargy" side effect, but more than likely just that you're not sleeping as deeply as you think you are is my real guess. Try a sleep-aid and see how you feel....IDK?

......Or throw in the ECA stack

Although I haul tankers, and usually mid day after lunch I could power nap like a mo-fo, but days I'm not driving I'm up and at 'em all day.

I used to suffer real bad from mid morning fatigue. It happened around the same time during the day you're suffering.

I found out that my fatigue was linked to the amount and type of carbs that I eat. If I eat any oatmeal it makes me feel like I've taken a sleeping pill.

If I were you I would tweak my diet and remove the oatmeal and replace it with a piece of fruit like a banana or other type of berries. I would avoid Oranges or Apples as they cause a faster insulin spike. I also take the WalMart brand Super B Complex after breakfast and I don't feel fatigued at all.

If you are still have that problem it could be from using Test as it does seem to make some Bro's sleepy or you could be deficient in one ore more of your levels.

Good Luck Bro

Get a sleep study done. You probably have Sleep Apnea.

 

[locutus61]

Provigil.

 

[Ashop]

I would see a doctor. I wouldnt mention the AAS use. Could screw your insurance and/or job up.

 

[da0s44]

I know this might sound cheesy but 5 hour energy does it for me. Stuff is great and doesn't make me feel gittery or wacky.

 

[Stewie]

Check your morning waking temperature and every 3 hours, if low very likely your pre hypothyriodism and or adrenal insufficient caused by AAS,over use of stims, stress; .over training lack of sleep constant dehydration, iodine deficient, low DHEA , cortisol issues , could be a lot of situations.

Personally I wouldn't mask it with a stim, try to figure out the root cause

And as BigSwole stated sleep apnea,

Check your temp and start there

 

[Ocean cool]

Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit.

Its the drugs that is making u tired. There's no way to say this.

Tren will make nu lethargic. Google it.

My advice, please take CoQ10 at 200mg/ED. It helps allot, allot allot. Trust me on this.

 

[Stewie]

Bro you posted some time ago on your lack of sleep, you have the answer. Read my post again. Could be a variety of situation.

Don't Mask the problem Fix the problem,
Sure COQ10 Will give you energy, But it's masking,Although It's a beneficial Supplement And should be taken daily, As we age Our levels are depleted.

 

[jamescb77]

I agree it's most likely from the tren. It will cause lethargy in people that coupled with the fact that tren actually messes your sleep up even though you think you are getting good sleep is most likely the problem. I drop my tren for the same reason aroudn 2 weeks ago and i gotta say i am feeling a lot better and im still taking pretty high gh.

 

[supertrucker212]

I have used Tren several times before and never had this happen, but there's a first time for everything. I'm gonna drop the Tren and replace it with EQ or Dec and see if that makes a difference.

 

[jaybird151]

sounds like it is from the tren, that happens to me sometimes on tren.

It can also happen ( at least to me) from just being on too long.

How long have you been on?

Are you taking any DHEA?

try taking 25mg DHEA a day and see if that doesnt help, i bet your DHEA levels are too low

 

[waynaferd]

For me personally deca keeps me up all night and wanting to sleep all day.

 

[supertrucker212]

Actually this week I'm just gonna run test and dbol and let the Tren clear my system, then start the EQ. I can't say I've ever experienced what you've experienced on deca waynaferd, but everyone's different

Too much test does that to me. Are you running gear?

 

[QuietStorm]

personally, it sounds like sleep apnea to me. As a professional driver, you should have that checked regardless if you sleep well or not.

 

[DrivingForward]

I would say TREN definitely, and possibly sleep apnea.

Tren made me practically narcoleptic, as I would drift off anytime I was still for 10 minutes. Girls used to get so pissed off that I fell asleep during every movie!

Additionally- if you're 200lbs on a 5'4 frame, you probably do suffer from some form of sleep apnea, particularly if you snore.

Try dropping the Tren and then take a couple B12 shots per week.

 

[joetapout]

I'm a trucker to and around 1 pm I want to curl up nap ,have to fight my eye lids for a wile. I have been taking stims for years and pre workout stims and tons of red bulls.I'm 10 days into no stims accept 1 cup of coffee in the morning and god dam I feel great,no more sleepiness and I sleep all thru the night.week this is also two weeks past pct so that could help to.give it a try no stims might help. Just my two dumbass cents

 

[BA69]

At 5'4 195lbs you are a nice contender for sleep apnea. Get a sleep study done asap. Don't play around with it. I have a bad case of it, it's really not to be taken lightly
