thread started out focused on diet and spread to workout volume so I'll add in one other component of successful weight training.


How many of us get at least 7-8 hours of uninterrupted sleep at least 6 nights a week?

I wish... I usually get about 6, but wake up at least once during the night, usually around 3am. I'm a night person, it's really hard for me to go to bed before midnight and I have to force myself to do that .

I usually get 7.5 to 8 hours of sleep every night, but sometimes I get up once just to go to the washroom, and then it's back to dreamland for me.

I usually get 6-7 hrs and catch up on the weekends! I do go in spurts tho - sometimes I can't sleep at all, other times I sleep like a rock. Interestingly I have slept like a rock every nite since I moved into my new house & I've got at least 5 trains / hr that go barrelling by all day, every day.

BTW, melatonin & all that stuff does nothing for me. When I go thru any periods where work or whatever is bugging me & I can't sleep, I start loading Inositol for a while. That makes a big difference overall.

...eat EVERY three waking hours?
YES

...drink a gallon of water daily.
YES - most of the time

...eat a gram of protein per pound of bodyweight
- Not yet - still working on that one

...prepare food in advance for lunch and snacks
- Sometimes, but its a good suggestion, Ive done it before and its pretty effective

My sleep pattern varies..... the night B4 I get my monthly I don't usually sleep -- like last nite I woke up around 1:30 am & couldn't get back to sleep till 5:30 am....

Also, in order to sleep at all, I have to take 5mg of Ambien every night....

When needed I've found that diphenhydromine (Nytol, etc.) works for me. If I end up like that for more than 1-2 days, then that's usually a pretty good indicator that I have some issue that I need to deal w/ that is keeping me up.

I know what the problem is -- I can't turn off my mind at night....
