cant sleep after intense workouts

[muscelove]

does this happen to else? I worked out yesterday at 7pm. I did heavy squats then heavy deads maxing on both. then i tried to do chest but didnt have much power left. I got home ate and sat around. I felt on the edge for the rest of the night. Went to bed at around 2:30 but slept like shit(restless and kept waking up) and woke up dead tired @ 10:30. This happenes every time i have a badass workout. Does anyone else suffer from this?

Its clearly that i tax my cns like crazy. Is this bad and does it happen to anyone else

it's the complete opposite with me, when i have a hard workout I sleep like a baby all night... very strange that it does that to you. What's time is your last meal before bed and what does it consist of?

on any cycle? this could greatly effect sleep patterns and anxiety

 

[muscelove]

No man no cycle at all. Well last night my last meal was a can of tuna about 1 hr b4 bed. I was so amped up i was almost shaking even though i was tired. This happens to me whenever i have very intense workouts. It jsut sucks that i cant rest. I dont know what would happen if i worked out earlier in the day.

Your problem could be due to one or many factors combined. Worry, too much T.V. too little carbohydrate, too little water, alcohol & drug use, work stress and elevated cortisol levels may be factors for you to consider.

Here are some suggestions that you might want to try:

1. Eat a high carb meal.
2. Take a brisk walk.
3. Do a bit of light reading.
4. Hot bath and massage.
5. Don't think.

I workout late the majority of the time... I feel your pain.

Get in a relaxing routine and stick to it.

The "no thinking" part is the hardest I lay down and could think of the most random stuff all night.

"Sleepy Time" tea is great for a natural sleeping aid.

One fucking can of tuna?

I'm ignoring everything else you wrote. You ate one fucking can of tuna before bed? Try tripling that and washing it down w/ a quart of milk and two slices of toast w/ peanut butter.

do u stretch after your workout? if u don't you should i usually stretch after an intense workout and just put my mind in a state of total relaxation, just to release whatever tension i may have. Might also be things on your mind stress, if it's stress i would suggest taking things one at a time and not let things stress ya out so much because there's always a solution for everything
