      I work at night, 12 hour shifts 7pm-7am, three nights a week. Then every other week, I add an additional eight hour night shift. I come home, train and rack out or come home rack out, wake up and train. I probably don't have to mention that sleeping in the day time is a task between all of the normal daytime noises, phone calls and people calling or coming over to bang on my front door 'cause they want something. Then on Saturday morning at 7 I go home and try to get back on the same schedule as my family until Tuesday night. The days when I'm transitioning are the hardest. PM is a necessity but I find that I still only sleep for about four hours on it. I wake up feeling more refreshed than I would be without it though. My training schedule looks like this right now:

      Sunday train at 12 noon
      Monday train at 6 am (this is usually cardio)
      Tuesday train at 6 am (cardio) lift at 7 pm
      Wednesday train at 7 am (cardio)
      take a nap until about 4pm and get ready for work
      Thursday come home and train (sometimes this is a second chest day; close to a meet it's just an extra mobility/cardio day) then go to sleep or go to sleep as soon as I get home and wake up at 4pm to train.
      Friday come home and train
      Saturday cardio with my wife around 10 am.

      Bed time protocol: Stak or M Stak (depends which one I'm taking at the time) 30 minutes before bed. Sometimes that's in the car on the way home from work.
      PM

      I tried taking Pak before bed but it gave me energy and with the daytime sleep issue that's one more variable I didn't feel like fooling with.

      I hope I didn't confuse everybody as much as I think I did.

      Pak wakes you up?
      Iīve never experienced that myself.
      So, why donīt you just take it with your breakfast?

      I love PM, too. I always save it for precontest time to have its full effect

      I keep it simple nowadays. In years past, I'd mix something up, throw in Animal PM, Zquil, melatonin, etc. Now, I eat my final whole food meal around 7-8 and then throw a scoop of animal whey in a shaker and wash it down with a little dessert; a cookie, a brownie, whatever, to keep my sanity. And then toss back 3 ZMA Pro while getting into bed. I try not to take any sleep enhancers.

      It doesn't wake me up per se, just makes it even harder to go to sleep. I take it as soon as I wake up, especially since I'm off all caffeine for right now.
