Let me tell you about an experience I just went through. I’ve been snoring for 2 years. No big deal. My wife got used to it, it didnt seem to bother me too much.

I get blood work done every year and my numbers came back very weird. I was off cycle. Sent me to a blood specialist. First question was do you snore? Yes i do. I filled out a sleep apnea survey and answered yes to all the questions. Scheduled a sleep study and after 2 hours they had seen enough. I stopped breathing 43 times the first hour and 48 the 2nd hour. Over an 8 hour period of sleeping this would translate to almost 2 hours of actual sleep and thats not even deep sleep, which we as bodybuilders know we need – cures for snoring.

So for the last 2 years my body has slowly acclimated itself to surviving on 2-3 hours of sleep a night. They got me going on a CPAP machine and for the last month and a half I get a full 7-8 hours of deep sleep.

So said all that to get to the point………………… I did multiple cycles the last 2 years never really making great gains but getting harder or more defined. I was killing my cycles with no sleep. all my hard work was going down the toilet. Since getting on the CPAP machine and getting a full nights sleep I have gained 9 pounds. I just so happen to be on the tailend of a cycle now and am now realizing the gains I could have been making all along. It sucks that I cant keep on cycling but this one has been a 16 weeker so I’ll go into PCT and come back in March ready to do another.

If you snore when you sleep it would be well worth the money and time to look into doing a sleep study. The medical field calls sleep apnea the “silent killer”, if left untreated it can cause high blood pressure, cholesterol, and stroke.
