School and sleep

nygreenz92 · 11-08-2009, 02:45 AM

Hey guys, i was wondering, Why does overtraining keep you restless? I thought the fatigue was supposed to make you all tired and make it easier to go to sleep.

i made the mistake of working out too hard for a week and i can never go to sleep until like 5 hours after lying in bed. Sometimes i get so mad i just get up, walk down to the basement and beat the hell outta my punching bag and then i laugh at myself for being bipolar and thats when i finally fall asleep.

i NEED to fix this problem quick because i have school and i also cant really work out after going to school on 3-4 hours of sleep.

Because your bady has released the stress hormone 'cortisol' which prevent you to fall asleep (and has many more drawbacks for building muscles).
