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'm no expert, but it sounds like the article is saying that intense exercise can cause a temporary spike in circulating thyroid hormones. That might not show up on a blood test, unless it is drawn right after a workout, as was done in the study. It sounds pretty consistent with what I experienced, but certainly may not be the case with you.

Hope you get this all sorted out.
