Sleepless the next night after a long ride
Whenever I ride more than 70 miles or so I have trouble sleeping not that night but the next night. For example, if I have a long ride on Monday I'll sleep nicely on Monday night but I'll be lucky to get five hours of sleep on Tuesday night. Not sleeping on Monday night would make some sense (spun up on maltodextrin products, etc), but the sleep problems always come the following night.
When this happens I feel generally pretty good the next day and don't particularly feel like I'm sleep deprived, maybe a bit tired not not like I would normally feel on five hours sleep.
What might be causing this reaction? Is this common (or at least not uncommon)?
