Subject: RE: pardon my rant I feel your pain. I rarely sleep through the night, either. I also notice it gets worse when I train a lot, but just like you it's there regardless.
These things have helped somewhat:
Avoiding exercise just prior to bedtime.
Not reading or watching TV IN MY BED prior to bedtime. Do that somewhere else.
Avoiding alcohol. That always disrupts my sleep.
Mostly, these practices just make it easier for me to drift off to sleep. I usually still wake up in the middle of the night and have a lot of trouble getting back to sleep.
Sorry I can't help more. If I get it figured out, I'll let you know.
As far as training, I try not to let it impact me too much. Sometimes, when I KNOW I won't be getting back to sleep I'll even jump on my trainer in the middle of the night. Still, there are days when I'm just too dogged to do anything. That's also why I try to keep my training to mornings-- at least it's my first priority each day. |
