WTF I cant sleep, am I overtraining??

[weak704]

Sorry Im not 35 but everywhere else I would just get a bunch of bullshiit answers from trolls.

Anyways, for the last two weeks every single night I go to sleep I always wake up somewhere between 5-6 hours after I went to sleep and then I cant go back to bed. I feel sluggish all day and it really affects me at school and work. Strangely it hasn't affected my performance in the gym.

I have been working out for 8 months now, I eat anywhere between 3000-4000 calories a day, and Im doing a simple 4 day split which looks like this.

Mon:
Squat
BB Rows
Leg curls
Lat Pulldowns
Machine rows

Tues:
DB Bench
Standing Overhead Press
BB Incline Bench
Tricep Pulldown things
Some calf work

Wed:
OFF

Thurs:
Deadlift
PullUps/Chinups
Leg Press
Shrugs
Bicep Curls

Fri:
OFF

Sat:
DB incline Bench
Seated DB shoulder press
Dips
Calf work

Sun:
OFF

I do 4 sets, on the compound lifts I do 5 reps and on the isolation exercises I do 8-12 reps.

Anyone have any idea whats causing me not to sleep? I have no problems falling asleep, just waking up 5-6 hours after. I have taken off 9 days in my 8 months and I have missed a day or two here or there

You're sleeping for 5 or 6 hours. That does not sound like insomnia to me. Somethings to check if you feel like you are not sleeping enough is caffeine and stimulant intake. Are you taking any NO products? These can really jack you up. Coffee can do the same, as can energy drinks.

I feel lucky when I get 5-6 hours. 8 hours (imo) is on the high side for hours needed. I could easily sleep 8 hours when I was 254 lbs. At 172 lbs, either don't need it, or body doesn't want it. Either way, I haven't felt tired in about 18 months.

i refuse to accept a 22 year old can overtrain, especially on your routine. not to minimize your efforts, but it looks like a decent routine, nothing over the top.

doubt this thing called overtraining exists at all in the mortal world.

sleep issues can be complex. i would think your problems lie elsewhere. if you work out at night, that could be an issue. i can't sleep after a night workout.
