How does /fit/ wind down at the end of the day and get ready for sleep? I lift at the end of the day, and the cortisol spikes are fucking with my gains. I end up tossing and turning for hours and wake up feeling like shit.

Thing's I've tried:
>magnesium
>L-theanine
>ashwagandha
>herbal tea
>melatonin

So not really cool to post this picture if you ask me

>ashwagandha
>herbal tea
>melatonin
None of those are supplements

how do you know?

Seconding Glycine, try it OP.

Out of all of those only herbal tea (I'm assuming lemon balm and chamomile) and melatonin actually aid in falling asleep. Also melatonin will spike your cortisol further if you won't fall asleep soon after taking it.

You've answered your own question, you mong. Work out earlier, also Go on evening walks and put away any screens at last 1h before sleep.

Now to answer the inevitable /fit/ard reaction
>but I need LE PILL to FIX me... the heckin' SUPPLEMENTINIO to solve THE PROBLEMO
No, work out earlier.

Try more stretching after workouts, long static holds. Like 10-15 minute stretching routine post-workout, make your protien shake and get stretching.
If I don't stretch, my muscles will be firing on and off all night like Michael J Fox.

Retard. Normal functioning adults aren’t able to work out at 12 PM on a Monday.

I tried all of those things but at the end of the day is a mental thing and there is nothing you can do about it. It’s embedded into your brain that you are a bad sleeper. I don’t think lifting in the evening has to do it. I know people that finish their workouts at 10 PM and by 11 they are in the deepest sleep possible.

I get high to go to sleep which fucks up my rem

Melatonin is the only thing worth a fucking shit. None of the amino acids do anything IMO.

They say HGH makes you sleep like a bear
