Hi again,

I was wondering if anybody else has experienced sleeping problems after doing evening classes.

I am so tired but wake up every hour during the night. I have now started doing 6.30 morning classes to avoid this but I am really wondering what is happening to my body….

Thanks & Namaste *eve*

Yes Eve, I surely have experienced that (and it is common for people just beginning; those on challenges; and teacher training).

Some people sleep like a log from yoga – but when you have the intention to really change; or you are working hard coming back from a break (that’s me on more than one occasion), the changes in your body, especially after a class later in the day can cause disturbed sleep patterns.

Let alone the muscles re-setting themselves!

I used to toss and turn just with the muscles not being happy to stay in one place in the bed (a little achy!).

The good news is, as far as I have observed, it does pass pretty quickly …

Good news! I have been practising lots more over the last 3 weeks (5-7x a week) and I can sleep again.
So yes, it was just a temporary thing I guess.

I had similar problem when started with Bikram.

I would wake up at 2am completely fresh finding it hard to fall asleep again. Then I would get up at 6:30am with no problems, but the interrupted sleep bothered me a lot.

This happened around 5 times at the beginning.

Now I am back to sleeping like a log.
