[Sportsandrec] Statistics on Fitness in Blind Community

Thu Aug 9 20:52:51 UTC 2012

I'm up at 6 and go to bed at 11--and I really should be in bed by 10
because 7 hours is not enough sleep for me especially since I'm an
awful sleeper. The only time I have to work out would be from about 8
or 8:30 p.m. until bed time. Does anyone else have a hard time
sleeping after a work out? I read you shouldn't work out 3 hours
before bedtime because of the addrenalene. So, sleep, mmmmm, good for
LM, or workout which is also good and a handful of hours of sleep ...
hmmmmmm maybe not so good?
