Question: what should the T numbers be? I'm going for bloodwork soon but have never paid attention to anything beyond my lipid panel before.
My blood work panel says 264-916 for total T is considered normal range. 8.7-25.1 for free T.
Maybe it’s due to lack of testimonials, but I don’t know of any guys under 65 saying they feel good with sub-400 total T levels. It’s supposedly an algorithm that requires all of your hormonal panel to truly understand, but I have a hard time believing anyone as low as mine at 39 is living the good life.
I should have mentioned in OP that my dad has been on testosterone therapy since his 40s. I guess it could be genetic,

That range is meaningless as far as whether your T is low.
Your symptoms sound textbook low T. Your doctor sounds ignorant. That doesn’t mean if I was you I’d get on TRT at 39, though, before I did everything else I could to get the number up.
Also, my T was 688 when I got checked, but I still hate my lifting workouts. My sleep is almost identical to yours, and that’s what I blame my low workout enthusiasm on.
