Lack of sleep quality and PI

I have sleeping disorders which I am trying to fix and my question is: Would this affect PI and results from PE? Considering healing is boosted at deep sleep (REM) it should at least affect recovery. Also the morning erection from what I v read happens during the deep phases of sleep which I have trouble getting into so I am in doubt if either this important PI is missing from bad routine or just lack of sleep.

Either way I am going to take a break from PE for 5 or so days just to be sure I am not overdoing it.

I think deep REM sleep definitely helps with recovery, but you just make the best of whatever you life is. Just watch your EQ and adjust your PE and time off accordingly.

I see you are new here, so welcome! If you don’t know what EQ is, my thread for it is linked at the bottom of this post.

Good luck.

I have little time to sleep plus similar sleeping problems, and I’ve been PEing since mid-late November. I’ve found out that we do have different recovery times than most others.

The obvious thing I’ve found is that people like us injure a bit more easily (or, a better word would be overwork), you’ll want to take more rest days than whatever your routine calls for, in the beginning I had to go 1 day on/2 days off until I could take the intensity of a 1 day on/1 day off routine which I moved into after over a month. Now I’m trying to go into 2 days on/1 day off and I’m feeling that I may be overdoing it a bit.

As a little background, I get maybe 4-5 hours of uninterrupted sleep/day if I’m lucky (about 3 days/week). I usually sleep only 2-3 hours 4 days a week. On vacation weeks I pretty much hibernate (12+ hours of sleep per day, interrupted every 3 hours or so for food/etc) since my body’s beat from working out 3x a week without sleeping enough. (I know this sleep pattern isn’t healthy)
