[Jewbacca]

I operate daily on as much if not less sleep, but due to diff reasons. I really suffer on the trails. Down a monster or equivalent and some energy vitamins. Will for a bit.

You suffer from really bad insomnia or anxiety?

 

Bro, I won't go near those energy drinks. My heart will explode. Happy with some rooibos tea and a bacon and egg croissant from the stellies BP.

 

I'm sure Plumber will provide me with enough adrenaline to keep me going for a few hours!

Neither, maybe a little anxiety. More to do with the op I had 3 years ago, and the meds I am now permanently on.

yeash.. Sleep is probably the most important part of recovery.

 

Bit of a nasty cycle there. Sorry to hear.

 

They link lack of sleep with all sorts of long term mental issues. In fact, sleep deprivation and the effects are as close to psychosis as someone can get without actually going mad... prolonged sleep deprivation will eventually lead to the effects being permanent.

 

I obviously don't want to pry here, wrong place, but you should definitely see someone about the meds, the side affects and a possible solution.

Rad.. I am actually really happy to read this.

 

I lost a good friend to suicide after the onset of psychosis after a long battle with anxiety, insomnia and the incumbent issues with self medicating.

Oh no, sorry to hear. I can honestly say I will never do that no matter what!! 4 hours is great, 6 solid uninterrupted hours is the bomb!!

Did iron monkey. Plumber and Armageddon into Zulu land today.

 

Plumber was... Um scary. Felt strong and I think I could have done Phoenix too. Next week we try all 4.

[RiverInTheRoad]

I did a XC ride with a 1000m climbing and I am pê. Worried about this event????

[Yo-Yo]

I also rode today covered a lot with plumber, Zulu, iron and Armageddon. I thought i’d Been getting fitter for this with some mast efforts but am bleery broken tonight. Plus I seem to have developed a numb left hand 20 minutes into a ride but genuinely I am broken.

[Jewbacca]

If Iron Monkey is stage 4, that 'little' kicker hill two thirds down is going to be devastating!

 

It might be a sit down spin or a walk! 

[Duane_Bosch]

Went for an 80km roadie this morning. I had ABSOLUTELY 4KOL after yesterday's Jonkers Ride.
