So I just started a new job, 8AM-5PM + close to an hour each way commute during rush hour, which forces me to wake up at 6AM and not get to train until 7PM so by the time I'm done training it's 10PM already and to get a full 8 hours of sleep I need to go straight to bed which isn't possible because I need to eat, do errands, shower, unwind, etc.
So basically my sleep has suffered tremendously, from the 8 hours a night I'd always make sure I got to a pitiful 5 hours a night MAX. So how do you guys do it? It's only been a week and I can already tell that my overall energy levels are way lower. I'm not willing to sacrifice training, so I've been sacrificing sleep instead which is very counter productive. Also, as you guys know, when you don't sleep enough you stay sore longer, which sucks.
So those of you who work full time and train, how do you do it? Do you just try to catch up on sleep on weekends? Are there supplements/vitamins/certain foods that I can eat to help counteract a lack of sleep? I'd love to hear some suggestions. Thanks!
