A half-dose of sleeping pills left the speaker foggy and unable to train properly, which led to a shoulder injury. He's frustrated with the side effects and knows sleep matters for performance, but doesn't know how to fix it without scaling back his workouts.
Well, I got some sleep last night, about 6 hours, but I had to take a sleeping aid to do it. I only took half a pill because I hate the things because they just make you foggy. So, you know, get out of bed, drag yourself out of bed, drag yourself to the gym, drag yourself on the machines, and you're just not in tune. It's like you're fuzzy. It's like everything's just disconnected, and I ended up hurting myself. I've I've hurt my right shoulder, I think my right forearm. I think it's just tendon stuff. I'll go home and take some curcumin. But I need to sleep. I've got to try and make some other changes. I'm just not sure what to do. I just feel a bit stuck because the training's getting more and more intense. The diet's going to get more and more intense here from next week. And if I'm not sleeping, I can't grow. If I'm not sleeping, I can't keep up with the pace. So— What's the plan? I just, I just don't know what to do with it.
