Can you cut work hours? Or like, take a bit of cheeky nap time during the day or something?
Tiredness will make you grumpy and emotionally "swingy". That's why to 'normal' people I appear bipolar.
Eating enough? Food helps but it can't make up for needing more sleep.
Can you do something interesting/different for a mental reset?

Day 160.
I'm going through some highs and lows of this challenge at the moment, I'm approaching the half way mark but I'm feeling pretty flat. I'm getting pretty tired of feeling tired all the time now... With working a 45 hour week and riding anywhere between 22-30 hour weeks, leaves me with very little chill time and I need to sleep more. My routine has been fine until now, I feel pretty exhausted emotionally. Physically my body is performing well since I've gotten over the knee issues and I'm feeling exceptionally strong on the bike but the fatigue is taking it's toll emotionally.
I find it really hard to update this when it's going well, more because it seems crazy that at that moment I'm finding cycling 100km daily easy and a huge number of being struggle to exercise so I don't like to gloat about what I'm trying to achieve.
I need a holiday/LEJOG really, it's a shame it's been delayed by 4 weeks as I would of loved to start this on Friday like originally planned. The 30th of July just seems so far away...
