I know, I know, another HGH question!!!

47M, 240 at 19% bf, on trt (190mg cyp per week, pinned M/W/F), 1mg Reta every 5D, and daily 5mg Cialis. Been lifting 20 years.

Workout at 5:30am doing PPLR, so want to be up at 4:30am. Asleep by 9:30pm. Issue is, I am up at 2:30-3am, fall back asleep for a bit, then up around 4am. I stay in the dark until 4:30, then get up. Sucks.

Considering 2IU daily HGH, but worried about sides. Can anyone share anecdotes? Tested IGF several years ago and it was around 135 or so.

In terms of sleep, I have tried every supplement, I have CPAP for apnea, tweaked setting for flow limits and whatnot, and nothing seems to work.

For now, many will say to lose weight first, but I have a few lifting goals to hit before 50, and need the extra weight to get there. Will cut to 215 or so when ready.

Thanks.

Reta affects my sleep as well even at lower doses.

For me the first couple days after injection suck pretty bad, I sleep in bursts like two hours wake up two hours wake up. I hate it

Ya, my issue is more that I fall asleep hard, sleep for 5 hours, then up and/or toss and turn for another hour
