I am an evening swimmer 8:30-10:00
Our outdoor long course pool opened, but is only going to be used for am (6:00-7:30) workouts for the next month. I love swimming outdoors and long course so I thought, "I'll do it- I'll swim in the morning". So I did today. Now it is about 1pm and I am fading fast. I can't keep my train of thought. I just put my head down to get a little micro-sleep and noticed two different socks poking out from my pant bottoms (One all black anfd one black with red flowers). I was just curious what the break down of amers/lunch timers/pmers was. Also, any advice on how to get up in the morning?

I've actually been thinking a lo about this lately.
I'm a night owl and work until 1 a.m. foour nights a week, so morning is not a good time for me, yet I pretty much swim when I can get the time. Usually it's anywhere betwee 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.
Way back when I first moved to Minneapolis I was working a 2-10:30 p.m. or 3-11:30 p.m.. I joined a club that was open 24 hours and swam after work. I wish I could start doing that again. I am soooooooooooooooooo relaxed after I swim that I think I could best utilize that effect to sleep better.
Everywhere I read, 'experts' are saying - do not work out before bed, it gets your blood going and it will keep you awake.
This next week, I'm off work and my son is at a resident camp so I'm going to swim late every night and see how I sleep.
