26-mile bike ride

[[1w...]]

Ok so I rode 26 miles on my bike yesterday to hopefully induce sleep...guess how I slept?  Like a baby...woke up every hour crying 🙄 Seriously I am so bummed!  Insomnia has messed with me so bad...

It's strange the more you try to tire yourself out the worse you sleep. I was doing 12 mile a day on the bike and on some of the days I did I never slept and that could be two days on the run. It's got to be the worst symptom insomnia how can you heal when you're not getting sufficient sleep. Everything is so much worse.

 

Frank.

So true! Without sleep it is so hard to heal!

Yep. I've had this happen too. Sometimes I think when I push myself too hard my body has to make more cortisol and that sabotages sleep. Maybe we're all trying to find the "sweet spot" of enough exercise to encourage sleep but not so much that it revs us up. Then there's the whole thing that the mind does what the mind wants. It can be random. We can do everything "right" and still not sleep. I had one of those nights last night. Then there are the times we do everything "wrong" and still get some sleep. This is all so bizarre! I hope tonight is better.

Oh no!  That's terrible.  All of this is so hard to understand and so unbelievable.  Maybe the second night you'll sleep better.

I don't exercise, need to kick self in the butt to do so.  However, such fatigue lately can't move ;(

 

No sleep my biggest problem.  I took a Lyrica and got 9 hrs and felt like my old self!  Wonderful.

 

So took a half (dumped out half the capsule), got 3 hrs... blecch again.

 

I don't see how you heal without sleep.

 

I so get everyone's frustration.
