Competition is one of the reasons marching band is a sport. Marching bands hold huge competitions where bands come from different areas to perform their field shows in front of judges and a crowd of people. Just like in sports, competition has the same effects on people.
Curious what the consensus is on how long it takes for imodium to kick in. For me it can be an hour to six hours but usually just an hour unless it's really bad. __________________.
Take a hot Epsom Salt bath. Usually two cups and a 15 minute soak are good enough to relax you very well and get you to sleep. Probably the best way to get magnesium in the body IMO. However, you mentioned *staying* asleep and not falling asleep is the main issue....this is an adrenal/cortisol/circadian issue. Get your hormones tested.
