Sleeping after a big race?

[EpicRider]

Hi does anybody else struggle to sleep after a big race?

I normally sleep like a baby and within minutes from going to bed - but not after a big race??

Any explanations?

Cheers

Could be you are still wired from the race, full of sugars and energy drink. check the cafaaine content of your sports drink.

Are you sure that you don't have RLS ?

I also have this problem regularly - my body is just so sore I can't get comfy, and struggle falling asleep... a sleeping tablet usually helps with that for me

Had 2 of those hammer gels and the energy drink i train on - so dont think so

Restless Legs Syndrome - one funny phenomenon.

It is surely a possibility for this concerned rider?

I have the same thing.

My legs twitch and throb

My whole body zings with adrenalin and caffeine and sugar and excess energy drink/gel left overs.

My problem is before the race. RMS: Restless Mind Syndrome. Afterwards, I'm ready to nap right in the parking lot.

The only big race that gives me sleepless nights is the TDF! Can never wait for the next stage!

I sleep like a baby after a race or long ride.. actually more like a passed out drunk. Even before the race I sleep well. It is just a bicycle race after all, nothing that affects my pay check

After a race i will drop off to sleep quite easily but wake up around 2 hours later then struggle to get back to sleep. Even watching the shopping channels does not work.

after a race i fall asleep quite quickly, the screams from the passangers in my car wake me though
