Okay, I have a few test coming up..papers due and a career change coming very soon. Anyway, i'm a bit stressed.
Sometimes when I try to sleep I can't help but think about everything I need to do. I can't stop. ...it's a cycle, when I swim, i'm less stressed, but when it does creeps up on me I don't swim in he morning because i'm too tired in the morning to go, and I need to be rested for work which just makes me antsy the next day and so on. Well, I end up skipping days and days at the pool. Frustrating.
Swimming in the morning is usually the only time to go to be sure I can get a spot. How can I get myself to go in the morning, how can I sleep better at night? Have any of you come up with any strategies for this?
Cheers, :coffee:

Sounds as if this might be more a matter of letting go of work stress than a sleep related thing. As you said, one thing has an affect on the other.
By letting go of your work worries, you can stay better relaxed. There are so many hours in a day and not everything gets done no matter how hard we try.
I think that's what can keep one up at night time, and start the cycle of no sleep, no pool, and more stress.
Getting in recreation (workout) time should be a priority in that the better of we feel, the better we can handle our day.
An outlet for stress is very important.
