Night training

[Derranged_]

So here’s da deal. I’ve just joined a boxing gym and currently work out on the weekends. I would like to go several times at night during the week but I’m afraid that if I work out at night, I won’t be able to fall asleep at bedtime. Here are my questions:

Does anyone work out at night? How does this affect your sleep schedule? I usually go to bed around 11:00, so how many hours do I need to ‘wind down’ after I work out? What are some relaxing techniques to use?

Thanks…

Mayweather JR works out at night he says it gives him some psychological advantage....

using workout to sleep better is not uncommon. If you work your ass off, all you would need is some water and you'll fall asleep like a baby.

I've heard health experts say specifically not to work out in the evening b/c it may affect the sleep. I guess I should try it, and then discover on my own, if it works or not..

I've done it before, and I have had no problem falling asleep. As long as you don't eat a lot of carbohydrates, or anything for that matter, after you work out, you should be able to fall asleep proper.

I always workout at night, but then again I'm not a morning person.

If you work your ass off, a shower and then going to bed should be the only things you want to do.
