X Geek - stuff you don’t know

Piracetam and sleep

Although it has been mentioned many times that Piracetam affects sleep this can be rather misleading. In most cases taking Piracetam in the afternoon hours will expand considerably your awake time. Piracetam and most other nootropics actually work with your thought process and not your physical/metabolic systems. What does this mean in practice? It means that it is not coffee. By taking it if you actually need to be awake longer you will find it easier and will be much better focused during this time than without Piracetam. If you don’t actually need to stay awake you might be able to go to sleep. I’m saying might. Because, if you are already properly rested and took Piracetam in the last couple of hours it doesn’t matter if it’s night if you go to bed you will spend your time lying with your mind racing 100mph. If on the other hand you are tired, have no urgent reason to stay awake and go and lay down you could easily fall asleep. Xgeek team has tested this multiple times. Sleeping under effects of Piracetam is also a new cognitive experience. There is drastic increase in both recollection of dreams and lucid dreaming. Also since your brain is more active there is a big chance you will wake up as soon as you finish a needed number of sleep cycles. So the fact is don’t take Piracetam late if you don’t need it. Get your good night’s sleep and pick your battles.

Additional substance list

When taking any nootropic , as I said before, you should have a healthy extensive diet providing you with all the stuff your brain needs. With Piracetam a good idea is addition of B Vitamin complex and Choline. We will be talking much more about stacking but I will just mention that Piracetam is one of the most classical stack ingredients. I will not provide you with quick information about another nootropic for a synergy effect because each one has its own side-effects.
