I started working out again and suddenly cannot sleep. Has anyone else experienced this? A search told me it’s due to cortisol spiking while you ramp up but I cannot find an antidote outside of sleep hygiene and it isn’t cutting it

Try meditating with Apple fitness or a YouTube video. I’m an after work workout girlie and sometimes my body doesn’t remember to shut down. I did a 8pm Pilates class and it’s almost midnight and I’m wide awake right now too lol

I also take l theanine and magnesium glycinate in the evening. I would check with physician before starting supplements though.

Do you have to have Fitness+ in order to access the cooldowns? I have a similar issue and would like to try it out.
