High GI is supposed to be better around your workout, but I think for you we should focus on doing what's best for your condition before we think of what's best for your workout. I hope that made sense, it did in my head.
Before I made my other post I read a bit on Wikipedia, and it says

Medical treatment of PCOS is tailored to the patient's goals. Broadly, these may be considered under three categories:- Restoration of fertility
- Treatment of hirsutism or acne
- Restoration of regular menstruation, and prevention of endometrial hyperplasia and endometrial cancer
In each of these areas, there is considerable debate as to the optimal treatment. One of the major reasons for this is the lack of large scale clinical trials comparing different treatments. Smaller trials tend to be less reliable, and hence may produce conflicting results.
General interventions that help to reduce weight or insulin resistance can be beneficial for all these aims, because they address what is believed to be the underlying cause of the syndrome. Where PCOS is associated with overweight or obesity, successful weight loss is probably the most effective method of restoring normal ovulation/menstruation, but many women find it very difficult to achieve and sustain significant weight loss. Low-carbohydrate diets and sustained regular exercise may help, and some experts recommend a low Glycemic load diet in which a significant part of the total carbohydrates are obtained from fruit, vegetables and whole grain sources[citation needed].

So I'd stick with low GI foods, regardless of how close it is to your workout.
Just a side note, I eat oatmeal/whole grain breads/pastas after my workouts all the time, and I have noticed no difference from when I used to have a gatorade powder/protein powder shake. Actually, I'm leaner and stronger than I was when I was having a shake. So don't worry too much about what someone tells you is best. Do what works for you.

Yes, I am a nerd. That's part of what makes me so lovable.
Since you think work is the reason for your lack of sleep, let's talk about that.
You said you're hoping this turns into a full time position. What have you done to make this happen? What do you plan to do?
How many schools do you sub for now? Are there more schools in the area that you're qualified to sub for?
