Managing Night Sweats and Thermogenic Heat

[CoachIronwell]

[b]Current Issue:[/b] Since increasing the dosage, I am waking up 3-4 times a night drenched. It is affecting my recovery.

[u]What I have tried:[/u]
* Lowering room temp to 16C.
* Sleeping on a cooling pad.
* Cutting carbs before bed.

[b]Discussion:[/b] Is this primarily a blood sugar drop issue or a direct thermogenic effect on the hypothalamus? What protocols are you guys using to stay asleep?

[RusTitan]

It is the hypothalamus. Your body thinks it is overheating even when the room is cold.

Check your blood pressure before bed. High BP makes the sweating 10x worse.

I found that taking 500mg of Vitamin C before bed helped me. No idea why but it works.

[CoachIronwell]

Interesting. I will try the Vit C tonight. My BP is 125/80 so it’s not too bad.

[AndeanLifter]

Are you using Tren? If so, the sweats are just part of the tax you pay.

[CoachIronwell]

Yeah, on a moderate dose. Just trying to mitigate the sleep loss.

[GarageLifter303]

Try splitting your dose more frequently. Keep levels stable.

Also watch the spicy foods for dinner. It adds fuel to the fire.

Good tip. I did have buffalo wings last night lol.
