Lack of sleep

[Shizentai]

Well, I am a champion sleeper, always have been. I can sleep anywhere anytime, but after a tough night's training, I hit the pillow like ten tons of lead. As a matter of fact, I woke up this morning on my couch still holding my gi in my hand, right where I landed when I walked in from training.

I've never had a hard time sleeping. I guess you just need more physical activity on days that you don't train so that you can release all of you energy.

You know what really bothers me though? How do I know when it's time to clean up when I'm not soaked through with sweat from training?

I'm used to planning my showers based on my karate schedule, so when that changes I'm at a loss to decide what time of day I should shower. I have to go outside and do yard work or something to make a bath seem like less of a waste of water. It bothers me.

I generally get around 5-6 hours sleep a night, my body has got used to it now. However i have found swimming an hour or so before bed to helpful in getting asleep once i go to bed.
