Hope the vitamin D3 works! I've been studying up on some neuroscience lately which has some interesting tips, I will try to put them together into a blog post either here on my other blog, which may help. One thing it said is that if you get wound up about not sleeping, it makes it worse - ie if you don't sleep and go through the day thinking "Oh no I haven't slept" you can feel a lot worse than if you just shrug it off. It seems to be working in my case, but I did get a reasonable night in last night! :) Hi there!

It's as if I'm never firing on all cylinders. I've tried multivitamins but to no effect. My over-active brain doesn't help matters either. Might have to try meditating which you've mentioned on RF. I also suffer from SAD at this time of year, so energy levels are really low and I'm not running anywhere near as well as I should be. I've ordered some high dosage Vitamin D3 to try and combat this problem. Hope it works! Good luck with your running. Hi there Rob,
