    hi

    just question myself and might need tip from your "experience" :-)

    my lifestyle is busy, here is reason:

    1. Working in London, working my ass off 8am-6pm
    2. travel Tubes every day, flight home on every weekend
    3. Staying hotel since November
    4. Busy at weekend with 4 kids (age 9 to2 and don't forget Wife too, She is hero as she look after 4 kids without me )

    and there where it's getting hard

    5. training every day..due to Ironman Galways 70.3 and Marathon as well


    sometime i feel total wreck and tired every morning, need restore energy...but always feel ok after 3-4 hours.. but i don't want that...

    also eat Fruit & Veg every day, and I'm 95% Veg..5% meat( due to mother cooking, Special event, Xmas dinner, that cannot be ignore)..

    so i wonder have you through like that... i am temp get Recovery, or energy tablet or powder in chemist ..do they working well or fraud!!

    I travel a lot with work also and stay in hotels a lot...you should really try to pull back your sleeping time i.e try making the effort to move it back 10min a day from midnight...I can understand the way you probably train a lot mon to fri and work a lot also and then the weekend is hardly a break as its your train to do the parenting after being away all week so you really need to try to get the sleep in mon to fri. Its too much of a jump to just go from midnight back to 9pm but if you change it back slowly you'll definetly benefit. Maybe you're a person who doesn't need much sleep but the fact that you think you are burning out means probably not enough sleep. if you are going to start swimming in the morning from march then you really need to start getting to sleep earlier now and gradually changing the sleep pattern so come march you're going to sleep before 10pm
