Subject: RE: IM training and trouble sleeping When my training volume is high, I find that I sleep better if I have a bowl of cereal shortly before bed. I don't get any of the hunger in the middle of the night. Also, make sure you're well hydrated before bed. Try stretching and doing some massage before bed as well (foam roller or The Stick ). And, lastly, IM training forces our lives to become very busy. I find that I sleep better if I allow myself at least a few mins (10-15 ) to just relax in bed and watch TV or read just before I go to sleep...even if it causes me to stay up a few minutes later than planned. Being on the go ALL DAY, and not taking a break until I turn off the light and hop into bed usually results in me not having a great night sleep, because then my mind is running a mile a minute. But, we're all different. That's just some stuff that helps me . Good luck. Sleep tight! |
