Why does swimming make us feels sleepy - Sweet Dreams - Sleep Tight and Deep Like A Baby -



*** Below Information From Website ***
Studies have shown that swimming improves sleep quality .
That’s great ! But what if you’re training early in the morning ? You don’t want to be sleepy afterwards, dozing off on your desk… So what are the reasons behind that ?

" ~ Swimming is a full body workout: Swimming is the only exercise that uses all the muscles of your body .
No matter the stroke you’re doing , it will require full body effort and a lot of energy which will exhaust your muscles and make you sleepy .  The key is to grab a good breakfast and stretch well before your training .

Workout intensity:  There are some mixed opinions regarding the effect of the workout’s intensity on the energy of the body . While some people feel tired after exercising roughly , others feel more energized the more the workout is intense . After your workout ,  your body will be in the after-burn state which is when it cools down and returns to resting levels. This is when you usually feel tired and sleepy .

Water is resistant: Water is 12 times more resistant than air ,  that’s why swimming requires more physical effort than any other dry-land workout , which of course can wear you out .

Sunlight: You might experience more fatigue if you are swimming outdoors , where you’d be in direct contact with sun rays which can have its toll on how tired you’ll be . Try substituting the outdoor pool with an indoor one ,  but if you absolutely have to swim outdoors , make sure it’s early in the morning or late in the afternoon ,  when the sun is less intense .
And of course , wear sunscreen and drink lots of water .

Water temperature: Even if your swimming workout is tough , your body temperature will still drop. Cold water decreases blood flow in the muscles and makes you lose heat quickly , so the body has to work much harder and waste more energy in order to stay warm .

After your swim ,  your body will go through a re-heating process , which is also energy consuming , making you even more tired .
That’s why you should try swimming in pools where the water temperature is between 77 and 81 degrees Fahrenheit . Make sure the water isn’t too hot though , because hot water can cause fatigue as well .

Also try going for a run and drinking cold water after your workout ; that will definitely give your body a boost .

Calorie consumption: Food = Energy.
If you go swimming with an empty stomach , you’ll drain your body from all its energy , so never do that . ~ "

Have a proper meal about 3-4 hours before your session and a small snack 1-2 hours before .
Take whole grains , fruits , vegetables , lean proteins and healthy fats .

Take a small and light meal or snack 1-2 hours before the class start . 
A glass of fresh milk / chocolate milk or soy milk or yougurt drink plus one or two slices peanut butter toast / or plus 60-70gm++ chocolate will be perfect .
 
If your training / learning / swimming is in the morning have a small breakfast before you head to the pool ;  if you don’t have time for that ,  go for fresh juices , fat free milk or yoghurt , and stay away from fibers . ***
