Wolfman1 Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 Have fun on your ride doc! I'll be thinking of you when I am stuck at work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaDoc Posted August 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 I hope so, but it's gonna be ridiculous to ride with no sleep like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connie14 Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 I tend to wake up too early before big rides. I often times leave a couple of hours earlier than planned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durk Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 Doc I was the same way for all 5 days for my trip I made to the dragon and back this summer. I know how you feel. I think I was running on adrenaline most of the time when i was riding. Hope you got some sleep and enjoy the day. It is beautiful here at work. Wish i could be out riding right now.

ludwb675 Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 I can never sleep well the night before track days. Even tried the Zzzzzquil stuff and still woke up at like 3am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snot Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 it is rare when I sleep through the night. But, the night before a big ride or anything exciting I sleep well. I think it's because I know I want to be on my toes and if I am tired I won't ride. If it's something stressful I won't sleep much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustinNck1 Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 I usually end up laying in bed going over a checklist of stuff I need for the ride. Nothing is more irritating than fogetting stuff you will need. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawrence1 Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 You got it bad. Thinking about it is halve the fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue-yamaR6s Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 I have trouble sleeping being excited too. I also have trouble having any appetite as well. I am the same way traveling anywhere. I just don't like to eat much while on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaDoc Posted August 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) I never could get a sleep pattern going as literally every 3rd night we loose sleep on call and it takes away the rhythm. Been doing the same irregular rhythm for over 10'yrs and now I can never sleep good. and it's so funny how many are experiencing the same thing and trying the same stuff. I also tried zzquil stuff and didn't work. This time it was so bad that I didn't sleep even 1/2 hour the night. Daaaaaayyyuuum. The use of phone and other gadgets at night is only worsening the problem. Edited August 31, 2015 by NinjaDoc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NinjaDoc Posted August 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 I am thinking to do what you do most times, next time planning a big trip to start the previous day evening and ride all night and to go rest at the destination and fall asleep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
