Hi All
Been waking up at silly o,clock lately for no apparent reason and it's driving me mad . I can get to sleep quickly but wake at like 4 or 5 in the morning . Anyway I have ordered some ZMA to help with sleep and recovery , anybody tried it ?

So much better. I'm cutting too and usually have difficulty sleeping while cutting and it definitely helps

If the ZMA works for u then u may be zinc and mag deficient and may want to eat more zinc and magnesium rich foods to aid in growth and recovery.
Have u had any blood work done to where ur levels r at? Might Be a good idea if u have insurance.0 -

Feeling okay otherwise? It is common for depressed people to wake around 5 a.m.0 -
I like ZMA but I only take it a couple of times per week. I also take melatonin but again, not every day.
They say weightlifting does deplete zinc and magnesium...
In my experience the sleep benefits of ZMA wear off quickly.
