Hey everybody. I’ve been struggling with some sleep related issues and I’m hoping someone out here has had similar experiences and successes. I train after work, typically getting on the bike at 6pm. All through SSB1 I really had zero issues. Now that I’m well into SSB2 I’m noticing I’m having a rea…

I ended up jumping in a cold shower and opening the bedroom window, cooling down seemed to help a bit. I’ve not listended to that Podcast but I’m going to look it up. I’ve recently completed all the available Ask a Cycling Coach episodes so I’m needing something new anyway. Cheers.

Interesting, I didn’t realize there was a product marketed to address this specific issues, I’ll do some research. Thanks.

I might try this. I noticed last night that on Mills @chad didn’t give us our normal five minute warm down, I wonder if that intended to derive a certain adaptation. I’m willing to risk it, damn the adaptation if I have to go on two hours sleep!

I’d be willing to try this, I live in a legal state and am open minded. My first instinct says I don’t want to reduce inflamation as that’s what drives part of our hard sought adaptations, but I’m good to see if there’s any good literature on this. Thanks.

I struggled with this for a long time and after trying a lot of different things, I had to move my VO2 work to the morning to avoid having my sleep disrupted.

A good wind down before bed. Low lighting, no screens and no rush. Taurine too, which is actually a key ingredient in the NTR suggested above but it’s far cheaper to just buy from a bulk supplier and supplement. I have found Taurine to suppress appetite, as have others but that doesn’t stop me eat…

@trswem , that is only a matter of fitting that workout into a tidy hour, and it’s cases like these that were the motivation for the extended warmups/cooldowns option we added. If I had it my way and every workout could be lengthened based on the intensity of the workout and riders were dripping with…

Awesome, thank you for the reply @chad , I’ll be pounding that extended button in the future.

I have had trouble getting to sleep after high intensity intervals, or evening races. I have participated in a Tuesday night crit series for the past several years that basically runs every Tuesday night from Memorial Day to Labor Day. It is sometimes difficult to fall asleep afterwards. I genera…

From what i recall from podcasts - i don’t think its adaption based i think tis simply to fit the workout into a ‘hour’ or ‘90mins’ durations that works best for most users.

I created a topic on phosphatidylserine. I have just heard about it and no experience with it but maybe someone will contribute.
