Train late in the day and become a vampire!

I’ve found that if I train after dinner or even if I train really hard in the late afternoon, sometimes I turn into a vampire that night, seriously though I mean I feel so energized and awake that I can’t get to sleep. The day before yesterday I was up all night and didn’t fell asleep until 7am. Not sure why I was so awake, my guess is that is was because I trained at 8pm that night for only an hour? I looked out the window to make sure the moon wasn’t out or something as sometimes a full moon will give me weird energy later in the evening.

I have started training in the morning now in the last couple weeks and I think this should help me not be so wound up by bed time. Also I think training in the morning is also good for other reasons like,

1. It’s been proven that most highly successful people are early risers, I noticed too that I’m much more productive and relaxed and focused through the day if I get up early. I feel stressed out and behind the curve if I sleep in, I feel like I’m catching up the whole day. And too much sleep has been proven too be just as bad as not enough.
2. Most of the races and events I do are held early in the morning. My first triathlon I did I was not on schedule to exert myself at 9am in the morning and I felt it, I did not feel ready to jump in the water, and when I was on the bike I still felt asleep and my legs cramped right up.
3. Since I still need to lose more weight, by training in the morning my metabolism is flying all day long.
4. Also by training early in the day, my brain works better after being woken up, and the rest of the day I feel like I have more oxygen and fuel going to my brain and my blood sugar feels more stable.
5. I’m less tense or stressed through the day after training in the morning for whatever reason.
6. I’m sure you could probably add a couple to the list that I’m not thinking of
