. Avoid stressful activity several hours before sleep (stressful activity makes your body pump out cortisol which will keep you awake). What if about two hours before bedtime is the only time you can workout? Is it just the quality of sleep you get in working out before you go to bed or does it promote bad health issues other than sleep quality???

Just started using some seroquel. And that stuff knocks you right out. Great mood stabilizer, plus and added benefit is that it gives you the munchies and you can eat and eat and eat.

So if bulking, Seroquel is a great aid.
