Yes, I would. All the work in the world won't do you much good if you aren't sleeping.

I was just thinking about this cortisol thing when I read your response. Now, like the others I've had workouts that resulted in me being ready to take a nap, lol, but I've also experienced what you have. I remember reading that your cortisol levels are supposed to drop like 90% between morining and night. Those low levels, among various other things, are needed to help you relax and unwind. It's a "stess' hormone and it's not there to help you sleep! Just the opposite. So, I think that could be a connection. But at the same time I don't want to overstate the whole cortisol thing because I think people have started to blow it out of proportion and say things like "you can never work out more than 45 minutes because cortisol will eat all your muscles", lol.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
