I turned 18 two days ago, and have had insomnia since I was 16. 16 is also when I truly started lifting(I was mostly doing calisthenics and weighted calisthenics). Whenever I lift heavy and get no sleep my joints, breathing, and mental state is all fucked up. The most worrying thing is my heart and breathing get all out of whack. I've been stuck at 185-205 on bench for the last two years and the most I've ever squatted was 235 for 5. Nothing feels right. Basically, should I just go back to high rep/low impact calisthenics and sprinting until I somehow fix my sleep? The reason I'm asking is because despite getting 3-5 hours of sleep a night, I have yet to get a serious injury(despite doing heavy weight/low rep schemes). Any opinions or advice is appreciated.

You sound like your cortisol and adrenaline is chronically high. A low carbohydrate diet is often a major contributing factor to that problem. (But there are other potential causes.)

Dietary nitrates may contribute to insomnia by inducing mania:

• Khambadkone, Seva G., et al. Nitrated meat products are associated with mania in humans and altered behavior and brain gene expression in rats. Molecular psychiatry (2018): 1.

https://doi.org/10.1038/s41380-018-0105-6

>Mania is a serious neuropsychiatric condition associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Previous studies have suggested that environmental exposures can contribute to mania pathogenesis. We measured dietary exposures in a cohort of individuals with mania and other psychiatric disorders as well as in control individuals without a psychiatric disorder. We found that a history of eating nitrated dry cured meat but not other meat or fish products was strongly and independently associated with current mania (adjusted odds ratio 3.49, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.24-5.45, p < 8.97 × 10-8). Lower odds of association were found between eating nitrated dry cured meat and other psychiatric disorders. We further found that the feeding of meat preparations with added nitrate to rats resulted in hyperactivity reminiscent of human mania, alterations in brain pathways that have been implicated in human bipolar disorder, and changes in intestinal microbiota.

A riboflavin deficiency may contribute to irregular circadian rhythm:

• Miyamoto, Yasuhide, and Aziz Sancar. Vitamin B2-based blue-light photoreceptors in the retinohypothalamic tract as the photoactive pigments for setting the circadian clock in mammals. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 95.11 (1998): 6097-6102.

https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.95.11.6097

And a diet high in linoleic acid may speed up the destruction of riboflavin and promote its deficiency:

• Cardoso, Daniel R., et al. Riboflavin-photosensitized oxidation is enhanced by conjugation in unsaturated lipids. Journal of agricultural and food chemistry 61.9 (2013): 2268-2275.

Check your test. Some people only need 4 hours a night and a few naps during the day due to high testosterone levels. These same people feel worse when they try to sleep a full 8 hours. Try a 4 hour core sleep, + 3 x 20 minute nap sleep schedule and get your testosterone checked. A full hormonal panel might be good too, get those thyroid hormones checked n' shit.

Tried meditating? Your mind needs good rest just like your body. Chanting OM (AUM) improved my mental fitness, I'm more concentrated and less distracted. Inner chatting also lessened. I have better sleep and better control over my thoughts.

Chad Aichs was a very successful powerlifter with big sleep issues. He managed to recover by taking much longer rest periods than other people, sometimes turning a 1 week program into a 2 week program to double the amount of rest days. In addition to the suggestions given above I would consider a full panel blood test to see if you are missing any sort of nutrients that would be affecting your sleep, and consider a sleep study/CPAP.
