Been taking NMN (500mg) now for about 10 days, 3 things very apparent, my sleep patterns have improved out of sight, lost 6-7 kilos of weight, and not feeling dog tired all the time and my condition has improved.
Last year I was playing squash 8-10hours a week, 2-3 times a week I would do 2 hours at a time,and this was sustained for about 9 months, while my condition improved I never lost even 1 kilo that whole time. I would hover between 113-115 kilos, it just never shifted from that. I was so annoyed by this that I stopped play for about 10 months in fact until just recently.
Since taking NMN I have started to play squash again more regularly and my condition has improved rapidly although I still think it's very poor but the improvement has actually surprised me greatly. 1 month ago I was playing against a regular opponent who's as in poor a shape as me and I struggled after only a 10 min run, like panting heavily sweating...just struggling, now I'm doing 30=40 mins. of quite intense effort but can hang in for an hour, to be honest I'm hugely surprised by this and pleased.
When I was younger I did night shift work for about 12 yrs straight, doing very long hours many times more than 16 hour days, this was quite the norm in fact, It was also a regular thing to be awake for 24 hrs straight and many times I would do 48 hours straight without sleep. I knew all along that these crap hours where not good but in recent years I believe that that lifestyle has been coming home to roost. I havn't worked much in the last 2 years and my lifestyle could be called slovenly....lol, I eat drink and sleep basically whenever I feel like it, however in this time (and befor too) my sleep patterns are all over the place, somedays I would sleep 3 times each time 3-4 hours, somedays 1 time for only 3 hours and feel shit the rest of the day so as you can see my patterns are rubbish,.
However since taking NMN things have changed substantially, it has returned to what I think is a perfectly normal pattern, 9pm I start to get quite tired, I head off to bed and do a bit of reading and watch a bit of news before crashing, I sleep like a baby until about 6 am, I don't wake up in the middle of the night like I have done every night for the last 10 yrs or more, I sleep soundly and when I wake up I feel so relaxed and refreshed it's a delight. I'm awake the whole day without that groggy stupidity that interrupted sleep brings and has hung over me for years and years.
I am hugely delighted by the positive results, I still think it's early days yet in my NMN regime but on early evidence (if it can be called that) I'm very very pleased.
Today was also the first day I took a dose of my supply of Rapamycin, I'm going to take 60 milligrams 1 time a week, so I'm interested to see how this little experiment will turn out!!
