Ever since I started lifting I'm tired all of the time. Anyone else experience this. How the fuck do I stop being so god damn exhausted all the time.

What's your sleep routine look like? Prep for bed, length of time in bed, etc.
might be working out too much- was doing ice cream fitness every other day for a while and made great gains but started feeling that way, killed my libido, etc. i backed off a bit and have been feeling better.
Also, I think sleeping too much is just as bad as sleeping too little. I feel better on 7 or so hours than i did on 9.

Just keep going anon, it gets easier, actually you are going to get more energetic with time.
I was in a similar position OP. I thought exercise was supposed to make you more sleepy, but it just made me tired. I do get a better night's sleep because it forces me to.
There really aren't good alternatives other than just sleeping more, or taking more naps during the day. Caffeine will only prolong the inevitable need to sleep.
>>36541859
Coke, if you can afford it
If you can't, amphetamines work nicely
>>36541859
When are you working out? How much physical activity you do at work?
I work GY, and tried to work out before work...all that did was get me tired by the last third of my workday and have to drag myself to my car.
I work out after my workday and it burns off excess caffeine, makes me sleepy, and winds my day down.
It may be as simple as when you start your workout.

This feel tired as fuck even if I get 8,10,12 hours of sleep
20-30 minutes of running on off. Eat a lot and varied. Don't eat candy at all.
5 minutes of sprinting before lifting will also help motivate and energize you.

L-arginine, son

*running on off days
Brushing teeth in the morning will help wake you up cuz mint.
Do quick push ups and jump squats in the morning if your body feels heavy.

6 hours is the max you should be sleeping as a healthy, physically and sexually active young man.
>>36541859
I'm assuming you're not a total piece of shit and actually eating a full range of nutrition on a given day.
If you've been losing weight you're on a calorie deficiency.
If you lose too much weight on a weekly basis it's called a crash diet.
The body while burning fat is constantly in a stressed and never restful state.
Before you listen to any of the pseudo doctors on here, check your calorie intake.
50-100 calories is the most you should be taking off your diet weekly, and it needs to be closer to the 50 marker.
You're suppose to lose 1lb of fat weekly.
So have you suddenly lost 6-10lbs of fat in the last month?
I was always tired, lifting or not lifting. Sleeping load or sleeping little. Might be underlying depression, might be light narcolepsy (my uncle has legit narcolepsy). Anyway, since I discovered modafinil I feel like a champ. Awesome stuff.
Fuck all that amphetamine stuff like adhd medication, that shit isn't good for you in the long run.

>6 hours
>while studies say that 6 hours is the bare minimum and might even increase risk of heart disease.
My problem
>work outside get lots of sunlight
>lift, get enough protein and carbs
>probably need more fruit and veg
>sleep 7 hours and wake up fine in the morning, but feel dead after two hours and need more sleep
>sleep 8-11 hours and feel lethargic all day
This just started recently, and my diet has been like this for years so I doubt it's that
>>36543045
Also, probably unrelated, but sometimes I jack off in my sleep, touch my gf, and even have sex with her. Used to sleepwalk as a child.

Fixed it for you kid
If you need more than 6 hours of sleep you're one of the following.
1. Low test
2. Overexerting yourself
3. on a huge calorie decline
4. poor nutrition in general
It's a sign generally that you don't give a shit about your body and you have to make up for it by sleeping more to make up for the fact you're not taking care of it.
>>36543094
Well, those points don't apply to me and I still need aprox 7 hours of sleep to feel good during the day. I tried 6 hours for a while but it just fuck me up after doing it for like a week.
>>36543094
stop shitposting some dumb kid is going to believe you
>>36541859
Zma
>>36541859
You're either not eating or sleeping enough. I guarantee that.
>>36543094
Shut the fuck up you dumb nigger you have 0 idea what you're babbling about
>>36543002
So for once it's a good thing that I am not sexually active?
>>36541859
Drink more water and sleep 7-9 hours a night.
Same problem once upon a time, fixed now.
>>36541859
Also don't listen to the dumbfucks talking about 6 hours of sleep. The young male body needs at least 7 hours of sleep. Recommended 8-9.
I've studied on this shit in school
>>36541859
sleep more you fag
