Hi, sorry if this is stupid.
I've been working till midnight recently and can't sleep well. I feel weak and soft and caught cold, sneezing all day, today I need to Squat, Bench and OHP which requires big energy, I feel soft and energyless. I'm suppose to lift yesterday but I skipped it and postponed it today, I worked till like 3am last night, I still feel soft today.

Should I?
1. lift the weight I used to lift last week? I expect I cant complete my routine today, maybe will KO after 3 exercise
2. drop a lil weight but increase rep (I'm not sure about this)
3. take a week rest (erm erm damn I don't wanna stop working out)
4. take coffee and lift?

This happen often, I often work till midnight and can't have enough sleep.
Will it lead to overtraining?
Any help? icon_question.gif

His workout is not the problem, the problem is his work/sleep schedule, which is so bad that he can't even workout.

OP need adjust your work schedule/sleep if you can't cope.

Occasionally, if I receive freelance job, I have to stay up pretty late to rush the thing out. More like buy money with health. So everytime when I need to OT, it's kind of hard for me to train, also feel like destroying my hardwork due to screwing up the rest time. Understood that health is about lifestyle in long time, besides this, anything I can do practically? like the way I should train or anything? looking for fresh ideas. smile.gif

If your program is simple 3 days a week 1 hour per session program like SS/SL/Fierce 5 then you can't really simplify it anymore.

I'm also a freelancer, I sleep at 6am everday. But I always make sure everyday I get my 7~8 hours sleep in. Normally sleep for 5~6 hours at night then 5pm after back from gym I recover back the missing 1~2 hours.

I see bro, so it doesn't matter what time you sleep but as long as 7~8 hours is ok?
I always heard, or saw Chinese post saying that we should sleep before 11pm, saying that's the period our body do detox. Idk how true is that or any evidence to proof that. I din't do study on that but base on my own experience, I feel better to sleep before 12am and after 12am.
