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:

Have any of you touting the benefits of melatonin ever had any significant side effects?
I have taken it for about 10 years in the rare instances that I can't sleep and have not had any side effects at all. I actually only take 1/2 of a 3 mg pill and it is enough to knock me on my butt. If you are going to take it, I would suggest that it be when you don't have to do any driving first thing in the AM.
Of course, having a totally clear conscience - as I do - is the best way to assure sleep.
