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:

Same things happen to me. Work stress is a killer, especially (I think) if you are in a creative field and/or have leadership roles that rarely have sure answers. And the economic news is not helping anyone, either.
Often I will pop up at 11-12-1-2, whatever, raring to go. Even if I had a hard pool or gym workout that morning and a good dinner. If there was a 24 hr pool, I'd be there poping out fast repeats. I will typically not lay there and be miserable, I will get up and answer emails, write text for work, or look for a familiar movie on cable. The feeling passes after about 2 hours and then I can sleep, but getting up after 3 hours of sleep usually means I won't go swimming at 5:30 am.......
But a day off from the usual schedule helps, too. I'm not 15 any more, but many more of these episodes and my IQ might be.
