You Can't Spell GAINZZZ Without ZZZ's
[A] new research review, recently published in the journal Frontiers in Network Psychology, suggests that staying awake past midnight may have implications that stem beyond needing an extra cup of coffee the next day. In fact, the study authors suggest that the mind simply isn't "designed" to be awake into the wee hours of the night. While prior studies have explored the effects of sleep deprivation on cognition, the new research focuses more specifically on what happens to the human brain when it's awake past midnight. The resulting "Mind After Midnight" hypothesis states that the mind isn't set up to operate as it does in the daytime, and as a result, we're more likely to make impulsive and even "risky" decisions.I was listening to Ya Boi Zach a few months ago, and he said he'd made an effort to go to sleep earlier, and it had really improved his life. I remember him specifically saying, "You may think you're naturally a night-owl, but you're not; no one is naturally a night-owl." A big reason to sleep earlier is that the body is programmed to release growth hormone during sleep, with its biggest pulses occurring before midnight. I've heard that the body produces most growth hormone (which has anti-aging effects and is generally a good thing) between 10pm and 2am at night, during sleep. So if you're not sleeping at this time, you're missing out. I started making an effort to be asleep by 12 (or 12:30) and it's been an upgrade in my life. I really have to be asleep by 11pm. That's the next step. Maybe night owls generally have that sickly, NeverTrump appearance because they're missing out on growth hormone during the night. So I don't know, if there are any "night-owls" out there, maybe try telling yourself, as Zach told me, "You're not really a night-own, you're just in the habit of sleeping at the wrong time," and see how it works. One bit of advice from Andrew Huberman about readjusting a sleep schedule, which 100% works: If you get up earlier than usual, and want to set that as a new wake-up time, make sure you go outside and get strong sunlight when you first wake up. There are neurons in your optic nerve which act as "zeitgebers" or time-setters, and key on strong sunlight. Once you do that for just two or three days in a row, your body will in fact reset itself so that that time becomes the new natural wake-up point, and your body and brain will also begin shutting down earlier to accommodate the new wake-up point. That really works. Here's a good What I've Learned about sleep routines:
In the new review, researchers analyzed a large number of studies investigating the effects of nocturnal behavior on the mind and how the body's circadian rhythm might influence brain function. The paper revealed that numerous physiological activities occur in the brain (when awake during nighttime) to contribute to poor cognition. The authors highlighted that being awake during the night is associated with an increased risk of: suicide and self-harm
engaging in violent behaviors
use of alcohol and illicit substances
higher food intake According to the researchers, our molecular levels, neuronal activities, and responsivity are attuned to our "usual behavior" of wakefulness during the day. At nighttime, however, these same parameters are attuned to the "usual behavior of sleep." "If we are awake at these times, neurophysiology is prone to foster behavioral dysregulation, especially when these time-of-day effects are combined with sleep loss or disruption," the study authors wrote.
Oh here's something I tried to stop having to go to the bathroom so much during the night: Obviously, stop drinking, mostly, except to wet your mouth, two or three hours before bedtime. But also, if you have to take pills or supplements or night, take them three hours before bed, instead of at bedtime. (Some supplements or pills, like a sleeping pill, must be taken closer to bedtime, but anything than can be moved earlier, should be moved earlier.) I think your body has to work to digest them and that results in having to pee. Having shifted my pill-time earlier, I think I'm doing that peeing before bed, and less after I go to sleep. Eh, give it a try. I think I'm on to something. This works. I'm generally continuing my GAINZZZ though I still haven't started lifting again. My experiment with weighting down my arms with 8 pounds of weights (each)H when I go out on hikes does seem to be working. It's essentially a low-weight but high-time-under-tension farmer's walk. It definitely is giving me some GAINZZZ in the shoulders. But we're not here to talk about my minor GAINZZZ. We're here to talk about yo' GAINZZZ. So what are your GAINZZZ? Any PLANZZZ for a new program or RECCOMENDATIONZZZ for the group?

Hopefully, next checkup, BP is down a bit, too.
Neither blood pressure or heart rate were in the "danger will Robinson" zone, but, they were elevated.

Shutting off your phone and not looking at it or your computer at x time of night helps a lot, too.
Related, I got a new phone from Tmobile and it does not seem possible to shut the thing off. I hold the button for a while and it first pops up an alexis thing "say what you want me to do!" then after a few seconds turns off... and restarts. What the?

So, I've increased my pull ups to first set of 6 and my pushups to a first set of 50.
not too shabby. It took all summer, but I think that volume of work, as opposed to just 3 sets of bench press, kills more calories and has a better weight loss effect.
I'm not doing it every day, like some guy suggested earlier this year of doing 100 pushups a day, but twice a week seems great.

The reason they tend to fat? Their surviving ancestors bodies stored up fat in the good times, and that FAT gave them a survivor's edge in the Starving Times.
Those FAT-POSITIVE genes were more likely to be passed on.

I think it's common. Your joints will adjust with time but take it easy and try not to cause a serious injury. So decrease weights on that joint for a while. (IANAD, IAAM) (I am not a doctor, I am a moron.)

1. Stop drinking coffee and coca cola. They stay in your system much longer than you realize.
2. Go to bed earlier CONSISTENTLY. ARound the same time, 9:30 to 10:30 p.m.
3. Instead of getting up to use the bathroom, you probably don't really need to use it, you just think you do. Close your eyes and go back to sleep. This one really works.
4. Quit making excuses for reading more on the net or in a book or on the phone. You can do it tomorrow.
5. If you need more sleep in the morning, stay in bed until you get it.
6. No tea, no chocolate, no coke, no coffee.

back when I graduated, I wore a size medium shirt and maybe even a 15" neck. So...not that big of a guy.
Now, after years, and at the ripe age of 29, I have a 17.5" neck and am XL. Your body will adjust. Just pay attention to what your joints tell you.
The question for noobs is what are your goals. Apparently, lifting in the 5 rep weight range will keep your size down. If you want to be bigger, then hit more reps at your top weight.

I need to figure out how to prevent my back from hurting after that. It keeps me from doing this more regularly.
I'm not watching my weight, but my 14,000 steps a day (mostly done in place) keeps me right about 186 pretty consistently. If I ever actually tried to lose weight by not eating as much, I think it would melt off pretty quickly.

Good advice for anyone, really. The advent of the electric light has done bad things for sleep patterns for everyone.
When we were without power last year for a week, I started just going to bed when it got dark (early, in February), and waking up whenever I woke. I was getting like 12-14 hours of sleep a day, without any ill effects. I don't know if it was my body catching up or what. Or even if you CAN "catch up" sleep that way.

I've almost always been scrawny, except for period where I just got kind of fat from eating too much and sitting around all the time.
I was especially scrawny through childhood.
A couple of months ago, my aunt, uncle and one of my cousins (about my age) came to visit, and one of the first things my cousin told me was that I had actually bulked up around my shoulders in particular. That was really cool because I'd only been regularly weight training for about five months at that time.

You need to stretch out your quads and hams before and after.
Leg work can result in subtle fore/aft pevic alignment issues. Keep those muscles from getting tight and you can usually avoid the lower back discomfort.

Soft, familiar music. Been doing it for years. Sometimes I don't need it and just crash, but if I'm a little reluctant, it knocks me right out. Over time, you associate the music with sleep and just hearing the music makes you relaxed and sleepy.

I was sleep deprived almost every day for about 10 or 12 years and didn't appreciate the seriousness of it. Until I almost had that serious car wreck and decided I had to do something.
I've been working on improving my sleep the last 4 years and have found my memory has improved tremendously as well as my driving. But the things that happened when I wasn't sleeping enough are gone, they don't come back. But the things that have happened in the last 4 years, my memory of them is much better and improves all the time.
It's a relief. I was afraid I was an early-onset dementia patient.

1) Wake up the same time every day - yes that means no sleeping in the weekends.
2) Get some natural sunlight when you wake up. East facing windows help. Failing that make the room bright (it worked for me in Anchorage AK in November).
3) Avoid any caffeine and even sugars after 9 PM.
There is a lot more to it, but those three helped me to regulate my sleep and sleep better.

My brain has two modes. Maybe it's left side right side stuff.
If I lay down and think about the day or tasks, I stay awake. Anything that results in stress or worry about accomplishing a task keeps you awake.
If you, instead, tell yourself a story, it puts your brain into a completely different mode and you fall asleep. In other words, imagining a story makes you fall asleep.
How do I know this works? It's been working on kids for eons.
Lay down, and make up a story in your head. Your superman. You're Wonder Woman. You're Richie rich. Doesn't matter. Sleep will be inbound.

Its best overall for your body and state of mind to as best you can keep a very specific schedule at least 6 days a week. One day ever 7 to do things differently, especially to rest and do only necessary labor is like a reset - I strongly suggest (again) shutting off all social media that day as well, as a rest from it. It makes a real psychological difference.

Something I've read about sleep, and it makes sense, is the 'housekeeping' crew arrives in your brain and cleans up the mess if you give them enough time to do their job. Try going without sleep for a day or two and tell me if you agree or disagree.

But I often wake up around 3AM, at least for a little while. So good to know maybe I already got the biggest benefit. But when I lost 30 pounds doing keto, it really helped to chart everything, weight, ketones, glucose ...
So I just ordered a fitbit 5, so it will give me some record to judge my progress. Shoulder pain still there but keeps getting better just doing light weights every other day, and some stretches. I always hated doing weights, but pain is worse than very brief workouts.

Yeah. But now it's so commonplace, and the fat people are fatter. Go to an amusement park, a busy beach or park, etc. and the percentage of overweight people is alarming.
I walk the dog in a nearby park that is busy, and it is surprising how many people I see in spandex/workout wear with their big gut or waist rolls just hanging out. There's not letting extra weight stop you from getting out - and then there's please don't dress like yoga instructor if you passed 200lbs years ago.

I have heard good things about ashwagandha, but not about the gut. That could come from the other things, my gut was messed up by stress for years.
Floristor is a good supplement for gut issues, it is a form of yeast, but one that lives best at 95F or better.
No idea why it works but it does, and I have heard some gut researchers mention it as a good probiotic.
I am off to go collect some firewood. Sawing and splitting are good exercise too.

Man, it's funny...I used to swear by the things. Had to stop using them during the time I was looking after dad because I had to be able to hear and respond if something went wrong. (Why yes this contributed to the shambles I am now, what's your point?) Went back after he passed...but once I got the CPAP I stopped again. The noises of the thing are soothing enough to do the trick for me.
Also I haven't had noisy asshole neighbors in years, which probably helps.

When the 2020 election hung in the balance I came up with a super-effective way to fall asleep: The Egyptian Army Youtube Channel - Making Egypt Greater Again.
It doesn't exist so far as I know, but I populated it with all sorts of stupid crap that the Egyptian Army of my imagination might do. Just stream of consciousness silly stuff and it knocked me right out.
I do remember waking up laughing once or twice at a joke that got out of hand.

No electronics or electric light after 4:30 pm.
Candles are fine. The light level in the home drops naturally and it helps enormously toward the body shutting down and just being ready to sleep.
Strongly recommend.

Oh yes. IIRC, the difference between nightmares and night terrors is the place in the sleep cycle they occur. Night terrors happen during that stage of sleep when you are paralyzed, so the not being able to move factors into the bad dream. Waking up from one of these is the worst!

Gainzzz. I gained a 'Buddha Belly' over the winter. My usually increased level of summer activity didn't take it away despite heavy-weighted backpack hikes, kayaking, and lowered caloric intake. But there sitting on my deck is my 'slant bench' which had gone unused for a year.
I'm cheating like hell on the situps, but 'Buddha' is disappearing. Along with any desire to eat more then a 2,000 calorie a day diet.
Tight abs are one hell of a 'feedback' (or feedless) mechanism.

Sleep grounded about 5 nights a week. Conductive ankle band on a long cord. It's a bit scratchy, so I don't use it every night. Too cheap to buy a sheet...
Sleep under a lightweight weighted blanket. Mine's handmade and is about 36 x 40" and weighs around 7 lbs. So not the heavy duty anti-anxiety type, but I'm convinced it deepens sleep.
Sleep mask, because even with heavy drapes we're still pretty light polluted.

I'll have to try that. I've tried to do what I guess is called "Lucid Dreaming", where I semi wake up in a dream, but then I take control of what I want to be in the dream. So make a positive outcome, especially if it is a negative dream with some sort of conflict. (which as crazy as the world has become, seems to happen more often in my dreams)

I forgot to say that on more than one occasion the dream I was having is be reading the book but the text was from a different book entirely. Ah, the flights of imagination my dreams are.

I was reading a bible in a dream once, but it was mentioning carnivals and circuses. Closed the book, said "Clown Bible"...

Once I was having a really scary dream and in the dream I made up a "rational" explanation for the images and fairly quickly woke up. Thinking about it my explanation didn't make sense either, but it fooled 'dreaming me'

I changed my diet up, the usual modern day right wing bb stuff, no seed oils and lower carb eating.
But what it turns out was that some deserts I had bought back in the day, grocery store bakery stuff, had shitloads of HFCS in it. Maybe also complimentary soybean oil and whatnot. I tried one out for old-times sake. got the burn.
no need for any anti-acids, just be smart.

I do a lot of what people have mentioned. Occasionally take Melatonin. Usually this occurs when I've stayed up way to late to finish a book and really really want to fall asleep quickly.
I relate to the Tell yourself a story. I'll do meal planning or try and figure out whodunnit in the book I'm reading and what I'm goiong to wear to the next event I'm attending. Out like a light.
i definitely sleep better on days that I swim.
I try and go to bed before midnight. It definitely makes a difference but ONT sometimes captures me.

I was on some meds for a while and I would have these incredibly textured and realistic dreams of doing things like sitting in the back seat of a sedan parked on the street, with a couple other people, having a conversation.
It was like the iMax version of My Dinner With Andre in my head.

my God, I've had recent fucked up dreams. Like I dream I wake up and check the clock. Usually if I take a long snooze or whatever.
I've also started "noping" out of dreams, if shit goes sideways, which is funny. I just decide "this is a dream" and I either wake up or restart it.

There's another thing that I noticed, being a fucking lunatic night owl. When you're tired and staying up late and you're really sleepy, you're going to find yourself having thoughts and losing them. It turns out it's because you're kinda sorta in a near dream state and your short term memory is starting to turn off (which is what happens in sleep state and dreams, which is why reading in dreams is trippy, the words are always changing).
Anyway, it's nearly like a dementia if you focus on getting your thoughts back. It's a clear sign to go the fuck to sleep because I find it's an unhappy state to be in, holding on but losing every train of thought after a few minutes.
