Needless to say, I didn't get a shag (be it woolly, feathered or otherwise). Nor did I get vodka. By the time I got home, I had the energy to check e-mail, make a new LJ icon (that still looks skinny after being stretched sideways in Photoshop, though at least it's pigeon-toed), and then go to bed.

i thought that exercise was supposed to make you sleep better? Since starting the gym thing, I've been waking up throughout the night & not getting back to sleep. I'm knackered & mentally dazed all the time. I'm not overdoing it (checking heart rates etc). Bah.

Mind you; after 4 visits, I've upped the amount I can run lurch from 1km in 10m to 1.8km in 15 mins. I can run lurch for 15 minutes without stopping! Go me! God I'm crap.

What time of day do you go to the gym? Is it late in the day?

Perhaps you're just waking up in the middle of the night out of vodka-lust?...

Straight after work - between 5.30 and 6, for an hour. I can *get* to sleep easily, but not stay asleep after about 3am.

Mmmm, vodka lust :)

I've just had lunch with a friend who does Savate and finds it troublesome sleeping afterwards (she keeps waking up).

This [in]conclusively proves that there's only one form of exercise advisable if you plan to be asleep shortly after.

That am science, that.

Is "vodka lust" a lust *for* or a lust *caused by*?

Yes ;p

Your theory may well be sound, but I'm not in a position to test it. Poo.
