Yesterday (Wednesday) was supposed to be short swim and long run day, but over the last few nights I have been struggling to sleep, both getting to sleep and waking often during the night. This all culminated in me getting up and feeling paper thin washed out and tired.I ended up missing my lunch time swim due to an over running meeting but as the day wore on I felt worst and worst and felt I could have nodded off at my desk.
So then came the decision I hate to make … to ditch a key session, I felt I could have probably trained but not as planned, so I had my evening meal and went to bed ... no TV ... no reading … just bed.
I was in bed by 8:30 but still, even though I was sop tired, struggled to get to sleep … I still woke several times during the night … and is I write this it is the crack of dawn. But I feel a bit better which is quite important as I have a 6hr drive after work today as I am heading home.
But the question is what can I do about it???
- I am looking to drop the amount of caffeine I have been consuming, which has crept up to silly levels.
- I may try reading instead of TV after training to help me come down fro a training high
- I could try listening to some relaxing music as I bed down for the evening
- But what else??
I do know I need to get this sorted as I can’t go dropping key session like this when I am looking for major improvements.
