Here's the deal...This is ruining my workout week/life!
I HAVE NO PROBLEM FALLING ASLEEP on a regular night...For example tonight I will hit the sack and sleep like a baby for 8 hours, with the occasional early morning piss.
Here's my problem...Sunday night I work late...There is nothing I can do about it. I get home around 2am, and I'm in bed by 2:30...Monday I dont have class/work...SO I sleep in to like 9:30-10:00am.
Tuesday I have a class at 7am, so I need to be up by 6. So I go to bed at 10pm. For some reason I can never fall asleep, I just sit there like an idiot for hours. Rolling around, flipping over, just getting pissed. Then eventually I get out of the room and watch tv, or go online and then go back to sleep when I eventually get tired around 130-2am. Then I end up getting no sleep and feeling like total crap the rest of the day, and struggle through my workout.
I think the main reason I cant fall asleep is because...I've only been up for about 11-12 hours, and just straight out not tired. I lay in bed with my heart beating, like I am ready to do something...NOT FALL ASLEEP.
So far I've tried Melatonin...I've tried many different amounts:
3mg - Worked great, but felt grogy all day...
1mg - Worked great, but still felt pretty groggy
0.5mg - Worked ok, didnt fell awake during the day
0.3mg - Didn't work...
I guess I dont respond well to the after affect of melatonin supplements, I fall asleep good...But the next day I feel like a zombie, just really hungover feeling.
I've also tried:
Simply Sleep...but made me sweat alot...
So is there anything I can take to make me tired, and feel like my normal self the next day? Someone please tell me something. By the way I work out around 2pm that day that I can never fall asleep...
Thanks again...
