sleepy after workout?

Maybe your body was overworked with the work out you did that it needs to adjust and rest it out as soon as possible. I do experience getting sleepy and tired whenever I get home from a very busy day. Maybe because the workload stress applied on the body was not the same as the normal load it takes in a day. Just my opinion on it though.

For me if i haven't done some excercise in several weeks and start to do some excercise i will get sleepy after that, but if i do the same excercise at least twice a week i don't feel sleepy after done with my excercise.

Hi Girl! It depends on yourself. Like me I don't feel sleepy after did some exercise. Maybe your body is getting familiarize with the activity that perhaps you have not done for ages..(^^)That is why you feel tired and sleepy. But don't worry you will get used to it and it won't make you drowsy anymore.(^^) Pssttt!! I think you should just go to sleep Girl!(^^)

Could it be possible that you over worked out? Exercise although beneficial do sometimes take a toll on our body and sleep is one way the body repairs itself. It is also advisable to eat healthy and take vitamin supplements when you plan to do a strenuous workout

When we workout, our body must become active after doing so. Yes there are times that I get tired and sleepy after workout, and most of them happens if overdo it. I see that you have fatigued yourself working out because you did it intensely. I guess 30 minutes of working out should do it.

it does feel exhausted after you work out. But the reason why you feeling sleepy because you are not in a routine to workout. When you resume working out after a long time or start working out then initial few days you feel sleepy because you are not adjusted to doing so much of exercise. Gradually, once you get into a routing, your body will adjust and you will be feeling as fresh after your workout and then you can poke as many people in here.

I've been going for daily walks and I feel invigorated when I return. I'm on medication that makes me want to sleep but the walking seems to get me past that for a while at least. It sounds like there is something lacking in your diet maybe because working your muscles and increasing your breathing is going to get your heart pumping and your blood flowing...this is energy. You should not feel sleepy.

I think that working out does help make you feel drowsy. It usually takes a while to wind down after working out, but then it is easier to fall asleep. I know my neighbor takes his daughter to the pool to wear her down so that she will sleep and if it works for kids, it should work for adults as well. As far as making me sleepy, I am always like that, even when I first wake up in the morning. I only recently started working out in the pool (it is too hot to do anything else). I will have to wait and see. Have a great week!!!

I don't know. Maybe you over worked out. Drink water and relax then go to sleep, okay friend. Happy Mylotting!

I used to workout a lot and after each session I would feel light and energized. I'd feel sleepy only when I feel tired and after using the computer for a long time.

I would guess thats normal. I mean, after you workout after you have not done it for awhile, will make you tired. Now you're relaxed and on the computer, I get that way without exercising.

Maybe you went all out on the workout and that's why you feel drowsy. I know after I do an intense workout I feel weak and tired, don't even have the engine to wash off the sweat in the shower.

Working out has a strange effect on me - it totally depends what time of the day it is when I work out! If I work out early in the morning, then it actually helps me to feel energised and awake for the day - but usually by the time the evening comes, I'm exhausted and sleep amazingly well! If I work out later in the day, though, I just feel exhausted and am happy to climb straight into bed!

After working out, sometimes I feel drowsy, but on other times I feel very hyper. It depends really. But after intense work out, somehow my energy is really pumped up. There's an adrenalin rush! So I just want to keep doing something and be busy. But of course there are times when my body can't take it anymore so the drowsiness kicks in.

Hi Thatgirl, Usually exercise boosts my metabolism and gives me energy. Maybe if you did a lot more than what you are used to then it could make you drowsy I'm thinking. Maybe if you move around a little, it'll help perk you up? Maybe a ice cold glass of water would help rehydrate and boost your energy back up?? Or possibly it could be that you just need the sleep and a little power nap would help you out.

I try and exercise every day and I always get sleepy afterwards. I take a nap most days, and if I don't have time for a nap I don't exercise. I have to exercise first thing in the morning or I won't. Taking a shower probably relaxed you enough to add to your fatigue, and it sounds like you did an intense workout. I am about ready for a nap myself. Sweet dreams!

Firstly I am glad you are working out this is so beneficial for so many reasons but mostly to continue to be active and healthy. I am the opposite when it comes to working out, I get so energized afterwards that I would be to awake and alert to be able to sleep. What I do is first thing in the morning after about 1/2 hour my breakfast, I exercise and it energized me so I have a feeling all day. I use to do it in the evenings and then could not sleep as it would make me way too alert. Maybe since you just started again it will be a bit before you get into a routine, so maybe soon it will cause your body to react differently. I am glad you are exercising.

TAking a shower after exercising would make you feel so relax and tiredness would crept in making you feel drowsy. Especially if you said that you did some intense workout.

I wonder why you are that way. Me, whenever i had an exercise, i am fully awake after. It's as if i am so alive because every part of my body was moved. As i have read, you shouldn't be exercising 3 hours before you are scheduled to sleep. It will keep you awake after the exercise and you will not sleep at once. So i am wondering how come with you, it's that way?

yes. when u do exercise u feel tired and u get excellent sleep. enjoy sleeping with sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet dreammmmmmmmmms.
