You’re trying to be healthy, so you’re giving your workout everything you’ve got. You’re eating right, including being careful not to eat anything after dinner. You’re getting to bed on time--but you’re sleeping terribly! Why is this happening? Surprisingly for many, it could be that the way you’re working out is impacting your sleep.
Hungry Muscles
Pushing yourself in the gym is great for sculpting muscles and building fitness, but it also depletes your body of glycogen, the spare fuel that is stored inside your muscles. If you’re finding yourself tossing and turning after a hard workout, unable to get comfortable, there are a couple of possibilities about why.
1. Is It The Bed?
Take a stroll through a few of the best Orange County mattress stores, and even try out a couple of the mattresses. How do they compare to your current mattress? If they are noticeably more comfortable, it’s time to start thinking about replacing your mattress. Generally experts recommend keeping a mattress no longer than 10 years, but if it starts to feel uncomfortable before that (say, 7 years if you spend a lot of time in bed), then don’t live with pain and the inferior recovery caused by lack of sleep: get a quality mattress as soon as possible.
