Endorphins??

theres that sequence of thought probably put into play "ive trained so i wont sleep",which wont be helping,"ive trained so now i will sleep"is a better track to play ,insomnia is a nasty rut to fall into,but it can be beaten and wont last for ever.

I'm with others suggestions here. Try and exercise in the morning - exercise raises your metabolism - the exact opposite of what you are wanting as you settle in for the evening.

Good luck in your training for TAM, and wishing you sound rest herein.

Thanks for all your replies; however, I ain't a morning person...and I'm AT WORK AT 6:25 already...so that means that I'm up at 5:15am...I really can't see me getting up at 3:30am to cycle until 4:30am and then shower and get ready for work...I'm liking the feeling while cycling and after...but not that much...grin.
On the night that I don't get on the trainer, I sleep well. On the day after I'm on the trainer, I'm ok...not really cranky...just yawning and slow..and a little whiney...So, I guess I'll have to adjust to it and stop whining...
Thanks,

Jan

I'm fine with late-day workouts, but when I race in the afternoon I have the same problem. You might try a low-dose sleep aid (just on the days you need it). I use an OTC made by Tylenol without the Tylenol in it (called Simply Sleep). Doesn't cause grogginess with me and my doc is fine with me using it occassionally.
