One more thing, i believe i have a case of very slightly enlarged prostate. (bo bian, not young liao)

So every night i'd need to get up to pee, every 2hrs or so. So each night 3-4 times. But the volume of urine is not high.
But what i noticed is that vast majority of the times i can get back to sleep fast. And my mouth sure dry, need to sip water, coz solid sleep.

Unless if it is near 5am and i managed to sleep before 10-11pm last night, then yeah i would then wake up and hoot early morning cycling (esp on weekends). Weekdays usually sleep a bit later and morning wake up 8am ish.

3 or 4 times get up from sleep for urine, I think unusual. Got go and check up?

Sleep and Performance​

Why the Army Must Change Its Sleepless Culture

Sleep is a luxury for some of us. Like me, no matter how, sleep hours not more than 5 hours per day. It's not we don't want to sleep more, it is just finally we wake up and cannot go back to sleep. On rare occasion, might get under 6 hours. I have never seen 8 hours per night for decades liao.

Yeah me too. I auto wake up after 5 or 6 hours of sleep. But I do take additional one or two short naps of half to one hour.

Actually I went because of my right ankle.

So it's more of leg deep tissue massage.

The upper thigh is pain like hell when he applied pressure.

Not sure if will work or not since not sure if weak in this area....but i think no harm if not overdoing it (overstrengthen, which i think not really possible via this alone).
IIRC cometdevil the TS got rather regular strain in this area as he posted before
For cyclists, this is not an uncommon issue with tight adductors.

Do in office also can, like what i do for minibands.
Think i can get 2. main key thing i see is time efficiency esp since i can do in office.

Will get for parents too.
Very cheap, all in i think SGD 5 per pc. Cheaper than shopee

I think for runners we need to get 2pcs for proper resistance. Can get 3pcs, since rmb 37 shipping fee for 3 pcs direct ship.

They say kopi can make one can't sleep. But for me is the reverse can't sleep without kopi Try to quit yesterday but cannot sleep. End up jogging outside. Kopi does make me fall asleep faster but also wake up earlier. After quit I believe sleep quality will increase 6-7 hours instead of my current 4-5 hours.

 

[Jeremy1]

For me is I control when I wanted to sleep or not.

I can sleep anytime but confirm will wake up after hours so I tried not to sleep

My sport therapist told me not to run until my ankle is healed.

I asked him how long, he told me is usually 3 to 6 months

But he said mine is quite mild so asked me to try to run and if it's still feel the uncomfort, asked me to stop running.

No more rubbing on my right ankle to make things worse and let my body auto heal by itself.

Does the pain turn to pleasure eventually ?

Maybe coz hyperthyriodism affecting......

My mum does not sleep more than 4 hrs a day usually as well. But day time can take micro naps.
Forgot what's her blood results but the T4 can be all screwed up one, then slowly bring it back to normal levels with adjusting the dosage of the meds.\She used to have arrythmias due to hyperthyriodism as well, but nowadays better. Visited A&E 3 times coz of this, and also coz of skyrocketing BP due to hyper.

She takes L-theanine also. Melatonin does not work for her (doc says she prob enough melatonin, so it is not due to melatonin supp, even if she does 10mg also wont help coz that is not the cause)

For me, around 2.5mg does wonders. Last time when sleep hygiene not so good, wake up 3-4am cannot sleep within 30 mins, go hoot fast dissolve metatonin, within another 45 mins can koon and then wake up at 8am.

Now is i just hoot before hand if i dont feel sleepy by 10pn, eg now. I just took small dosage around 1.5mg just now.

 

[WussRedXLi]

Ok time to koon........ got feeling liao, Melatonin kicked in, finally after 1hr.

Next time cannot drink kopi at 5pm.

Take care, and get well. As a runner, I would still run though. But lower intensity, lower mileage, lower duration.
