Sleep shifted again this week - anyone else?

My sleep schedule keeps sliding later every week on this med, like my body just refuses to settle down at night even when I'm wiped. I'm down 9 lbs so far so I'm not complaining overall, but lying awake until 2am is getting old. Does anyone else find their sleep pattern shifts around dose days, and did it eventually even out for you?

Interesting that both of you said month three, that gives me some hope since I'm only about six weeks in at 28 lbs down. My worst nights line up with the shot too, so I started doing mine in the morning instead and it seems to take the edge off. Not perfect but 2am wakeups are less frequent now.

Mine spikes the worst the first two nights after my shot too, waking up around 1am with that restless energy. It did calm down by month three or so for me, same timeline as the person above. I've dropped 56 lbs with sleep still slightly off, so it's livable even if it never fully goes back to normal.

Same thing happened to me the first couple months, worst right after injection night. I stopped taking mine in the evening and that alone fixed most of it. Mine evened out around month three, so hopefully yours settles too.

Interesting that morning injection timing keeps coming up in this thread - I was stuck with those 1am restless nights until I switched mine, and that's also around when the worst of it faded for me. I'm 55 lbs down now and sleep is maybe 90 percent back to my old pattern, so the trend here matches my timeline too. Caffeine cutoff by early afternoon was the other piece that made the first nights after my shot bearable.

Morning shots helped me too, plus cutting caffeine after noon made a noticeable difference those first couple nights. Six weeks in you're right in the window where mine was roughest, and it did settle eventually, so hang in there.

I had the same wired-at-2am thing early on and it did settle for me, though it took closer to three months than two. Cutting caffeine after noon helped more than anything, and I also started doing my shot in the morning which seemed to quiet the dose-week restlessness. 66 lbs down now so I can tell you the sleep annoyance fades long before the results do.

I noticed the same drift when I started, just lying there wired while exhausted. Moving my injection to mornings cut my restless nights from a couple down to one, and by the two month mark it had mostly smoothed out. No caffeine after lunch was the other thing that helped me.

Around the same point as you, roughly 10 lbs gone, and my nights were trash until I moved my shot to morning like the others here. Now I mostly just get one restless night instead of three. Worth a try if your schedule allows it.

I was right there with you a month in, about 12 lbs down and staring at the ceiling until well past midnight every dose week. For me it eased up a lot once I stopped taking my shot in the evening and quit the late-day coffee, so there may be something to what others found. The wired-but-exhausted feeling faded on its own for me around the two month mark too, so hang in there.

I had the same late-night wide-awake stretch early on and it did eventually fade for me too, took maybe ten weeks. Switching my shot to mornings made the biggest difference, plus dropping afternoon coffee. 48 lbs down now, so the rough sleep was a temporary trade for me.

Same wired-until-2am thing hit me during dose weeks and it faded somewhere around month two, though I never moved my shot time so it settled on its own. Down 23 lbs and the sleep is honestly the only side effect I still get a hint of occasionally. Sounds like the morning-shot folks are onto something if it keeps bugging you.

Mine tracked with dose days too, worst the first two or three nights after injecting, and it eased off once I got a few months in. Moving my shot to morning helped me stop doom-scrolling at 1am, though I honestly can't say whether it was the timing or just my body settling. 44 lbs down and the sleep thing barely registers now, so it does get better.

Dose-week restlessness was real for me too, but mine faded around week six or seven without changing anything. I kept my shot in the evening the whole time, so it may just be something your body adjusts to either way. I'm only about 12 lbs in, so I'll take the sleep trade if the scale keeps cooperating.

Funny how the rough sleep shows up during the good loss weeks for so many of us. I never connected mine to the scale moving fast until it happened twice. Therapy plus cutting caffeine after noon made the biggest difference on my end.

Mine lined up with shot nights too, the worst of it being the first couple of nights after. At 29 lbs down I still get a stretch of it some cycles, but it's way milder than the early weeks. What finally helped me was a boring wind-down routine, lights low and phone in another room by 11.

Still get this on Zep even at 10mg, mostly the couple nights after my shot, though it's way less intense than when I started. Mine eased up most once the big loss weeks slowed down, which sounds backwards but the scale flying seemed to keep my brain wired. 43 lbs down here too and I'll take a rough night or two over where I was last year.

Roughly 30 lbs in here and my pattern matches what folks are saying - the wired nights hit hardest right after my injection and calm down by mid-week. Once I stopped doomscrolling in bed and kept the room cold, the 2am stare-at-the-ceiling stretches got shorter. Fingers crossed yours settles as the fast loss weeks taper off like it did for me.

Same rhythm here, my worst nights land right after the shot and I'm around 15 lbs down so far. The fast loss weeks seem to keep my head buzzing too, but each cycle has been a little less brutal than the last. Keeping my phone out of the bedroom helped more than I expected it to.

Had the same wired-after-shot pattern on tirzepatide and it faded for me somewhere in the first couple months, so hang in there. I'm way down the road now and honestly the sleep stuff barely registers anymore, which I never would've believed back when 2am was my new normal. Cold room plus no phone in bed was the combo that finally got me through the rough nights.
