>>77304849>Hypogonadal nattys genuinely believe they can "fry their CNS" doing their half assed sets of random machine work dor 30 minutes that itll keep then up at night. Fuck off, braydon
>>77304849Don't work out/eat so close to bed time.>>77304851This guy is correct, a hot shower can do it too. It needs to be at least an hour before bed, not more than 3.
>>77304849what time do you work out and what time are you trying to go to bed?you really want your workout to finish 4+ hours before bed time if you're sleep-sensitive
>>77304851>>77305071>cold shower before bedwhatbut also yes that's exactly what I did to try and "cool off". Had a hot shower then switched to cold to finish.Maybe it's the circulation but my body is still hot today>>77305077I finished working out 9-ish and was going to bed by 10:30>4+hrs before bedis that actually a thing? Because that'd really damn suck like damn
>>77305361yeah dude it is. getting good sleep has a lot to do with the irl minigame of getting your heart rate as low as possible before bed. when i first started lifting, i was waking up hours early the day after lifting and it was pissing me off. i got a BP(+HR) monitor and found that it takes me at least 3 hours post-workout for my HR to return to baseline. i usually am in the low 60s resting, and i'm at like 85-90 1 hr post workout, ~75 2 hours post workout. i can't lie, i was watching a bryan johnson video on optimizing sleep and that put me onto this. he recommends 4 hours and that's what works for me, but my body is also very fussy about sleep, you could probably get away with 2.5-3 if you rarely have sleep issues.i think it's fair to assume that part of it is also your body getting accustomed to the workload and it will improve with time, but you really should give yourself more than 1.5 hours. another thing that helps me is i keep my AC at "daytime temp" until i get back from the gym, then i turn it down to sleep temp after i get out of my post-workout shower, and i angle it to hit me as i'm laying in bed shitposting. lowering your body temperature is crucial for sleep and as you've mentioned, it's elevated post-workout.
