Tongkat Ali/Cistanche/Apigenin and Sleep
Original post in this thread

This is now week 2 of taking tongkat 10% and cistanche. I have been taking both in the morning and have noticed a slight increase in well being. My main issue is that while I get to sleep easily, I wake up multiple times from around 3am to 5am. I still end up with 6.5 to 7 total hours of sleep, but I generally need 7.5 to 8 in order to feel rested. This is probably due to the need to recover after heavy weightlifting. Has anyone else had issues with sleep while taking tongkat Ali? I think I may try to drop the TA and see how I respond after a few days. I did notice that i slept well this last Sunday after taking the weekend off from this stack.
My other question is if I have to drop the TA out of the stock, is cistanche alone a good supplement to support healthy testosterone and muscle building? Assuming it's the TA messing with sleep and not the cistanche.

It's hard to say. I know I really love our 10%, but /u/Pretty-Chill loves our 2%. It's up to chance as to which one people respond best to. The Cistanche could also be playing a role. I am not sure what the mechanism would be. Sleep can be pretty complex.
