Hi everyone, just a quick follow-up and question. I've been feeling MUCH better the past year. I've changed two major things though: I now have a much less stressful job and I've scaled my training back from 7-10 hard hours per week to about 4 30-minute very easy workouts per week. Yes, I'm no longer competitive in races, but I feel worlds better.
My question: Any time I "push it" in a workout, even just a little bit, I cannot sleep at night. I have a very difficult time falling asleep and end up waking up several times and basically tossing and turning all night. It's very frustrating because I'm the type of person that likes to be in shape, but I can't because I need to be alert for work. It's weird because it only seems to be related to cardio workouts. I can lift weights hard and then sleep like a baby. Cardio is different.
I have hypothyroidism, anyone experience anything similar? If you haven't noticed anything, next time you do a hard cardio workout and have to work the next day, take note of how you sleep. I didn't really notice the correlation for some time. I always just thought that some days I sleep well and some I don't... Trying to figure out a way to solve this problem.
