Sometimes after our workouts I feel completely wiped. (I refer to this as "blowing a gasket"). It's all I can do to drag myself to the car and drive home, which is luckily not very far. Usually it's a sprint workout that will do it. Let's just say that it makes it hard to get work done the rest of the day... Does this happen to anyone else? Any suggestions, other than "don't swim as hard," which seems to be defeat the reason why I am there in the first place? (It doesn't seem to me that I am swimming harder than anyone else).
Benadryl can have a sedating effect that lasts well into the next day. Maybe if you are a Benadryl lifer, you can overcome this. But if you are taking this drug regularly, even at night, it has just emerged as my No. 1 suspect for your somnolence.
I'd put it in as "one, but not the only factor." The benadryl makes for a certain low-level amount of tiredness, yes, but the sprint workouts go far beyond that. And while I am not a lifer, it has been quite a number of months (maybe 6 or so?) so I would think my body would be mostly used to it by now. Before the Benadryl, I was taking Chloritrimeton, which is now hard to find, or at least it was the last time I looked.
