Really I have no proof that the one single dose of Trazadone had any effect on my dreams. I don’t remember any specifics about them. But I do remember that they were very strange.
On the chance that Trazadone was the cause, I’m guessing that the strange dreams I had last night were also Trazadone-related and were a lingering aftereffect of the single dose taken the day before.
With the trial of Trazadone behind me I’m now turning back to rowing daily. I missed workouts for two days in a row. One of the most important factors in good sleep for me is to use the rowing machine or SkiErg daily and burn a few hundred Calories in the process. The quality of sleep seems to improve in direct proportion to the number of Calories burned each day on the ergs. The benefit of working harder while on the rowing machine or SkiErg is mainly that it takes less time to burn the Calories. A longer, slower workout of 700 Calories seems as good for sleep as a shorter, faster workout that also burns 700 Calories.
Today’s workouts were a 10,000 meter session on the Rowing erg and 100 Calories on the SkiErg for a total of 689 Calories in about 54 minutes. AFTERNOON UPDATE: Did three more brief sessions on SkiErg and rowing machine to bring day’s Calorie burn total from 689 to 842.
Happy rowing to you!
