i've swam just about my entire life, however, i just started to encounter overheating after evening practice in the last few years. our practice generally ends at 830pm and i am home and in bed by 10pm. i can't use covers because i am radiating so much heat. i will then wake up maybe 3 hours later shivering and throw some blankets on then the cycle starts over. on the rare nights where heat isn't a problem, i will just randomly wake up around 1230am or so and stay awake for about half an hour before falling back asleep.
(when i go home i don't eat anything (i eat before i swim) and i only have some water or maybe chocolate milk. i have about an hour before my wife and i go to bed and we just sit on the couch and watch some TV)
has anyone had either of these problems? if so - what do you do?
I used to have the same problem when my workouts were scheduled in the evenings. After getting home I just couldn't fall asleep because my muscles seemed to be burning inside. After a while I found resolution - I just rescheduled my workouts for the morning time. First couple weeks I was feeling strange like the body didn't wake but then I got used to it and since 2011 my workouts start at 7am in the mornings.
Pros: 1) No problems with sleep at night since that time. 2) Feeling cheerful until lunch time 3) Never had problems with Masters meets sessions starting early in the mornings. Cons: Started to feel sleepy after lunch.
