Thanks guys.
I'll cut back on the caffein then and just take the one mug of java.
Sleep is very carb-dependent for me..I've been carb cycling off and on for ages: when carbs are ingested post-WO, sleep would be 9hrs, w/o them 7hrs.
Must say the real trouble began when I decided to resume a very modest cut, which mostly lowers carbs on all days except for the 2 heaviest or most intense lifting days.
Now I eat carbs the night before a lifting day (mostly morning) and sleep more that night but less after lifting. Been experimenting with relocating fruit to the night on days carbs are purposefully low to help with sleep.
But the major problem is that I need to concentrate a lot more for these lifts than for any other lift I do, and that's not being easy. Especially not for a beginner that is making all kinds of stupid mistakes and then has to listen to cues.
