Eat bananas for potassium and drink plenty water.

If you don’t like bananas then get potassium naturally thru another source.

Otherwise see a nutritionist.

I eat a banana every morning and take two potassium tabs before bed every night. I can still get cramps in my legs once in a blue.

I just want the white people to wipe their equipment down

Pinktoe hoe at the gym today ain't wipe down not na'an machine she used. I was gonna say something but decided that she was short and white and I'm big, tall, and Black and that confrontation had entirely too many ways to go sideways.

Yes.

Sleep.
It’s an intricate part of the process for burning calories and recovery.

So in your professional opinion would you suggest morning or evening work outs?

As long as you are getting 8 straight hours of uninterrupted sleep it really don’t matter.

You gotta reduce your screen time and replace it with a book or something with pages you can turn

Watch how quickly you fall asleep

Melatonin helps but the body can develop a tolerance.

Perhaps it’s time to meet with a doctor.

I did use melatonin and it did help but I don’t want to have to rely on it every night

I am seeing a doctor for a check up

That is the best course of action. Get some labs see what’s off and make the adjustments to your lifestyle as needed.

M-F I work out in the morning before I start working. Usually by about 10-11am I get impossibly sleepy. I've literally nodded off for 20-30 min while sitting here at my desk. The weekends I'm in the gym a bit later and if I come straight home I'm knocked out by 2-3pm.
