So, I had rice and beans for dinner, and I learned if I'm gonna change my sleep schedule for the umpteenth time with sleeping 8-midnight, waking up for an hour or so and then doing a workout/run while the rest of the world sleeps, then coming back home to eat, shower and get a couple more hours of sleep, I can't eat rice and beans for dinner. Spent 8-10 lying in bed unable to fall asleep, so I made some coffee to make sure I'd be alert for the run. That and the rice and beans made for a bad combo, and 3 miles into the run I could tell I was a few minutes of running away from dooming myself to a couple of painful hours on the pot. Real shame, it rained earlier so it felt so good out. In better news, my legs felt amazing, felt like I could have gotten to 15 miles before I knew it if the GI issues weren't there. Plus this gives me a chance to very slightly sleep deprave myself by only getting 4 or so hours tonight so I can fall asleep at 8PM tonight no problem. In other good news, I spent about 8 hours studying for the MCAT today. I'll be back tomorrow at midnight, and I'll be better prepared.

Really interesting Eugene I could copy and paste this post. I deal with GI issues too (ulcerative colitis) and sleep during the day.Good luck sorting it out.
