So you have absolutely no idea what i consume on a day, but you seem to know that it's already insufficient? Are you a wizard?
My food consist of 6-7 meals a day, which contain 2-3 warm meals (mostly with sweat potatoes, brown rice, beans, etc. Allot of oats, greek yogurt, honey, fruits, etc. I still like i workout 4-5 times a week. Daily intake is around 3200-3500 kcal.
It is completely irrelevant to my answer what you eat daily.
If your activity level outstrips your fuel you.... run out of fuel, end up with an empty tank in the middle of the night and voila you can't sleep.
I don't know what you eat NOR do I know what your activity/stress level is like.
I DO know what running out of fuel looks and sounds like.
You are making an assumption.... "I eat enough"
and I'm not saying you don't
You simply have the exact symptoms of an individual running out of fuel.
If your activity level, stress level, metabolic level, etc mandates more than your daily intake then
son you're out of fuel and you can't sleep. It won't matter whether you THINK you eat enough or not.
I'll say it again...
By definition "exercise induced insomina" is underfueling either temporally or globally. (yes, too much stress re: output may be a factor as well... ie. "over training")
Especially if it is insomina induced by fairly non stressful efforts vs high intensity efforts
it likely can be remedied by temporal fueling vs jumping to larger conclusions like hypo metobolism or estrogen as has been suggested.
ALL are possible issues
but simply altering fuel around activity and or sleep is the simplest, cheapest and least invasive
first experiment.
And to answer your question, NO I'm not a wizard.
Now I know how much you eat
and my reply is identical... sounds like a person outstripping the fuel provided.
And for the record I did not say what you are eating is insufficient
I simply said what your description sounds like.
AND I gave you a handful in easy, cheap things to try.
Next time I'll recommend an AAS cycle, a skateboard ride around the equator and a few thousand worth of supplements and that will seem more sensible I suppose.
smh.
PS - I bet those sweat potatoes are friggin disgusting.
