Sleep

4 hours at night then i take a 2 hour nap once I get home from work.

I feel fucking awful all the time

So I want to be Veeky Forums but I also want to be girly. Would a buff guy wearing girly pajama shorts and panties look gay? No homo

It won't if you post pictures.

Sleep is the most important recovery tool imo. If I get less than 6 hours of sleep, I will most likely have a terrible work out even if I'm in a caloric surplus. I get 7-8 hours sleep during the week and 10+ on weekends. Maybe I'm just getting older, but I need a lot of sleep to feel primed for a workout.

Trappy do you have any tips to fix low sleeping time? I can't sleep for more than 5 hours

This

I sleep less than 5 hours a day.
I usually wake up at 4 or 5am, nothing to do. Can't go back to sleep, too tired to do anything productive too. I just look at the ceiling and think about what I should do that day and about all those regrets I have until it's time to go to uni.
Been like this since I was 12.

Sounds like depression, start meditating, I find it helps with sleep if I meditate for 15~ min before I go to sleep

>start meditating

I usually spend about 3 hours in bed until my brain shuts down. Does that count?

You don't have to be sitting up to meditate, next time you're in bed before falling asleep, just practice mindfulness, I find it knocks me out pretty fast

i sleep 12 hours if i dont set an alarm

B...but how can I practice mindfulness if I feel empty all the time?

Cute, comfy, and hot.

:( I feel you
Don't focus on how far you've come or how far you've got to go, just focus on the present and think about how you're laying, the temperature, the feeling of the clothes on your body etc.

I see you have your wife's daughter there too.

ZMA and yoga pre bed

You mean his other wife?

it might sound like a meme but if you're on your computer all night download f. lux
Try melatonin if it's legal in your country, zma helps deeper REM sleep. Try to do as little as possible an hour or 2 before bed
Be as active as possible before that.

8-9 hours if I fall right asleep. 4-5 hours if I stay up masturbating in bed.

I recover quickly with 8-9 hours of sleep. If I fap all night, I'm noticeably sore the next day in the muscles I worked out the day before.

I'm working on starting no-porn.

God I swear I had a big thing written in one of my college notebooks somewhere, but I can't seem to find it.

Try lowering the lights at night, since they affect melatonin production in your body.
Try to also reduce the usage of the computer, and reduce the brightness.

And of course, lift and eat well during the day.
etc etc

Have you noticed a difference in your sleep after using f.lux?

Then feel empty, nigger. That's the point.

Fuck I do this too often, I tell myself I'm going to bed and spend hours going from video to video

Weekends I sleep for 9-10 hours. I could sleep the entire day if I wanted but the anxiety over assignments usually gets to me.

Sleep is very difficult in any case. I can't fall asleep until 4-5am, which means on schooldays I'm an absolute wreck. If I get less than 6 hours I'm basically a walking corpse. And the emotional distress is fucking horrible, I can barely talk to someone without crying and slurring my words.

Depression sucks.

Highschool or uni?

I find it alot easier to get sleep at night using it, could be a placebo but when you disable it during the night the light is blinding, twilight for Androids works too.

Was just about to ask if there's anything for android. Is it any diff than just turning the brightness down?

When i see your trip i instantly get an erection.

I always get at least 8 hours but aim for 10

Same thing here. I keep thinking the next video will be even better and will feel even better.

I need to just fap and be done.

it seems lowering brightness should be as effective but I'm not an expert, so no idea. You could try it out to see if there are any positive effects in comparison to lowering brightness.

>insomniac
Roughly 4 hours a day and sometimes I don't get any sleep at all. Getting little sleep does not help with gains, it just makes you really tired and feeling like shit.

Just get blue blocking glasses, famu. That way it'll work for all lights and screens you see

Nice

Yes. It should theoretically alter the light spectrum the screen emits. Less blue and more red so that your brains isn't tricked into thinking it's noon.

why would I pay for something I can get for free? and not look like a dweeb

Also make sure you are not suffering from sleep apnoea.

Not him, but it "works" better (assuimng it actually works at all). The problem is back in the days of incandescent bulbs you didn't have to care much the composition of the emitted light. Now with LED bulbs, LED backlit screens and stuff theres just too much blue light everywhere and it's thought to alter your melatonin levels. The glasses will block all of it no matter if you're watching TV, your cell/tablet/laptop or just reading a book under a LED bulb.

How to get good at waking up?

I sleep deep and turn alarms off in my sleep.

>sleep as much as your body will physically allow you to

Considering there's probably a good number of depressed cunts on this board who could sleep 18 hours if they let themselves, this is shit advice.

Its good advice for people like me who problem sleeping is because i usually go to bed late and must be woken up by an alarm due to lack of rest.

You'll hate it but put your alarm across your room

I work 8-12 hours days then straight to gym for an hour, id be lucky to get 8

I don't like to sleep. The dreams and nightmares are pretty indistinguishable from each other, and you spend like what - 1/3 of your life sleeping? Fucking surreal what a large waste of time it is. I probably could have been 6ft if I fucking slept at all during highschool, instead now I am only a king of manlets at 5'11.

Morale of the story is get your sleep in young ones.
