You’re not tired from overtraining. You’re tired because you stopped breathing 287 times last night.

I think BJJ athletes should look into sleep apnea. It's like one of the most overlooked, easily immediately rectifiable sleep problems for guys that have more muscle mass. How do you fix it? Do you have to sleep with the There are different things you can do. Like Rogan for example, he uses a appliance that just pulls his jaw forward a little bit. Some people the mass of their neck is so significant that it's literally almost collapsing into itself while you're sleeping on your back. Me in particular, it's not as bad as it used to be cuz I weigh like 40 lbs less than I used to. But I have a nose piece that just straps onto my head and it just blows continuous air while I'm sleeping. And if I don't and I'm on my back, it will start choking in my sleep. How much better did you feel when you slept? Oh, dude. No ADD, drugs, stimulants, steroids, nothing will compare to fixing your sleep if you have sleep apnea. Even if the severity isn't blatant, it's something that you don't really detect because often times, even if you have a significant other that even said something, they might just think you're an annoying sleeper. And at some point, it gets really severe if you're really heavy and you have a really bad case. It depends on the person, but you're literally choking in your sleep and you'll wake up gasping for air. That can be an outcome that is typical among bodybuilders and powerlifters especially. But sometimes it doesn't get to the point where it's not that severe. You're kind of in this in between where you're kind of just this annoying snorer who makes weird noises all the time, but you're never actually getting good quality sleep and you kind of go your life with elevated blood pressure, inhibited recovery, lower testosterone levels. A lot of people think they have low tests too just from their sleep when they have sleep apnnea.
