Amazing things about the human body part 25. You should be waking up bricked up if you're a man. And if you're not, then you might be deficient in this one thing. During REM sleep, your smooth muscle actually relaxes, and you're supposed to get bricked up three to five times during a good night of sleep. And in the morning, you actually get a testosterone spike. So that's why you're supposed to wake up bricked up. And if you are deficient in zinc, then you actually aren't getting the nutrients needed for testosterone synthesis, which is a key part in this. So your body could be making adequate testosterone, but it's not synthesizing because of a lack of zinc. So to fix this, you can eat zinc rich good, you can take a zinc supplement. Be careful if you take a zinc supplement that's only zinc so you can develop a copper deficiency.
