sleeping aids precontest

[cbeaks]

I have trouble falling asleep especially the last 4 weeks before a competition. I have been using either melatonin, ambien, and sometimes valium and the valium seems to work best at knocking me out. My contest advisor seems to think that valium might effect my vascularity and he doesn't want me to use it. I also have access to seraquil. What do the competitors on the board use to fall asleep especially the week before a competition? - cbeaks

Your 'advisor' THINKS it may effect your condition? I wouldn't worry about it. There is NO evidence to support the idea that Valium will cause any change in condition.
I will tell you this much-weeks of you sleeping poorly WILL SHURE AS HELL EFFECT YOUR CONTEST CONDITION. So keep things in perspective.
Remember that 'gurus' have alot of hunches or false notions and get their trainees to follow them like gospel. Again-if he or she pulls something off of medline that shows that sleep aids can cause any change in fluid balance then I will retract my statement(s).

2902, those were my thoughts exactly. He said that valium is a "relaxer" so I guess he thinks it will relax my blood flow and make me less vascular. He didn't think it would make me hold water. Since I am paying the guy I would like to trust him and do everything he says so I have nobody to blame but him if anything goes wrong but I also agree that sleepless nights for 2-3 weeks before a show will kill my physique.

Really? Are you talking about water weight? This is good to know.
Do you think that valium is a bad idea also?

valium is good for sleep but just rotate it w/ something else or you will get a tolerance built up pretty quick. xanx are ok too but to me pretty much same as val, can get addicted if you use too long.

Valium will put me to sleep if I take 30mg. Xanax will knock me the fuck out peroid. However when I use benzo's to sleep or for anti-anxiety they seem to produce a hangover. You can also build up a tolerance to them pretty quick.
Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) can help put you to sleep if you are susceptible to antihistamines. I get kinda hyper and restless on it at higher doses but it sometimes works.
Doxylamine succinate is what I usually take to induce sleep. It's an active ingredient in Nyquil. About 25-37.5mg should help.
Other than those G is another alternative. However I will refrain from saying anymore about it (probably said too much already)
