Thanks mate, could have been a lot worst. So happy about that

Glad to hear your ok. Looks like a bad one.

Hope it doesn’t impact your training much. Hopefully a few days recovery and you’ll be good to go.

Finally a good nights sleep - had the dog not barked at 5:45 I think I’d have actually had a lie in this morning

I love sleeping but I need to be strict with myself. I leave my phone downstairs when I go to bed and always try to wake up at the same time everyday.

Yesterday I had a coffee at 5pm and noticed this has affected my sleep! So I need to be careful

I want to try some supplement maybe magnesium, to see if this helps too!

Managed to get at least 7 hours each night this week and asleep by 9:30pm. Felt a lot better for it as the 5am alarms are not my favourite :sleeping_face:

Made some changes over the last few days and it’s improving my sleep. Above is this week. Below is last week

Changes I’ve made - cardio on rest days instead of after training. 20 min yoga and breathing every evening. Caffeine in the morning. No more prework out :sob: because I train in the evenings. No scrolling 1 hour before bed. No vaping 1 hour before bed. Magnesium 1 hour before bed. No tracking food to take off some of the pressure. Eating 3 balanced meals a day plus a bed time meal. I am 3.1kg down which is a slower rate than some but what I was hoping to achieve with a steady 1lb down per week!

Sounds like you have this all nailed down (although i’d personally struggle with the no PM coffee or pre :sweat_smile:)

I’ve been trying to reduce caffeine for a while and drink decaf. My favourite is NescafĂ© azera as you Can’t tell the difference. Although the 1st few days of reducing caffeine isn’t easy, I’ve found it makes a difference. There was a point where I was drinking caffeine all day and honestly it just stopped working and I was still tired :weary_face: I’m most sad about the prework out as I love the cherry fizz. Not sure if it’s worth having in the morning or not :woman_shrugging:t3:

A better nights sleep for me last night but I’ve changed gyms now to have more equipment but down side is they don’t open on Sundays and a run in the rain today is not doing it for me :sweat_smile:

I’m taking that extra half an hour as luxury :rofl:

Why do you think you struggle with sleep? For me, especially recently
 stress!

I’m not sure how much coffee works for me tbh, I must drink 7 or 8 cups a day
.tastes so good though! I’m not sure I’m ready to try reducing :grimacing:, but I’ll keep Azera in mind if I do!

Yes I used to be like that! I just love how it tastes :drooling_face: but yes the decaf azera is delicious too!
