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.

Copy. Appreciate the reply. I may try half a tablet and drop the cistanche for a bit. If I don't have any luck with that then I may attempt the 2% with/without cistanche and see where I am at. I definitely enjoy the effects of your tongkat so I'll keep at it.

Let me know how you react to the changes. Just try to only make one change at at time, so you don't confound your variables.
