Hi Sue! Thanks for the commment.

That’s quite interesting, and to be honest, I’m not sure. How was your cortisol tested? In general, if you feel ok and are in good health, it might not be anything to be concerned about. That said, high cortisol when sleeping is a concern. Maybe it goes down before you sleep? At what time is it still high? I’m not a doctor, so a physician might be more appropriate to talk to about this.

Thanks again,

Graham

This is one of the most informative articles I’ve found on the net. I know I’ve commented on another part of this series but just wanted to say again, thank you sooo much. It’s really helped me understand what’s happening with my sleep!

Nico,

I can definitely relate! Even knowing that I have to be up at 5:30 am can make me anxious enough to cut into my sleep quality. A consequence of modern scheduling.

I just checked out your site. Excellent work. I love the emphasis on training intensity as opposed to merely volume. Coincidentally, next week’s post focuses on exactly that.

Thank you very much for leaving a comment!

Graham

Hi,
I just wanted to share that I need more sleep than I get when I am at work. The minute I have a break, body fat melts away! I am also focused on keeping caffeine to a minimum and only in the morning. Many thanks for these articles! Nico.
