Its nice to hear others have the same trouble. I'll try getting up and see if what you do helps me, next time. Thanks for the comment, Chris.

It's a sad addiction, isn't it? I just had a week off due to a minor shoulder injury and the sleeping was getting worse and worse. It wasn't the shoulder that didn't let me sleep, it was waking up tense. After a good BJJ session yesterday, I slept brilliantly last night. I've had other nights, where I woke up hot and bothered and tense because evidently, I'd been dreaming about grappling and my semi-comatose mind wouldn't let go of some specific issue. I get up, have a walk around, have a drink and then generally I'm good to go back to sleep (unless my body is battered and bruised more than usual from the last BJJ/MMA session, then I need to find a non-painful position first...). I agree, a grappling dummy would be great for when you have withdrawal systems :-) I know just how you feel :-) . It’s a sad addiction, isn’t it?
