Back when I used to drive Iād often go out to my car for a nap if I was knackered.

When I was training a lot in 2010/2011 I worked in a large office building that was actually two buildings stuck together. There were some floors that werenāt used, but you could just walk dow the stairs to them.
I would quite frequently āgo for lunchā and actually have a nap in the toilets; the cubicle furthest from the door was slightly wider than the rest so I would put the lid down swivel round 90 degrees, and use a pillow as a cushion. It worked pretty well.

Iām a nap anywhere guy. As soon as iām in a moving vehcile (not driving) i can be sleeping in seconds. Doesnāt matter if itās a car, noisy old bus, whatever. Iām pretty convinced that i actually managed to nap standing up once as well.

Iām the same. Can sleep like a cat.
On two occasions Iāve fallen asleep standing. Both years ago after a late night, early morning āclubbingā

1hr clearing the neighbours gutter
2hr mopping up the flooded pain cave floor
Iāve had a look at their other, primary gutter and it is filed to the brim with moss. 
So Iām getting 70% of their rainfall all into my garage. Not irritated at all.

No, iām a big sleeper, so iām ok at night as well. Only thing that ruins my sleep is eating sugary stuff too close to bed, caffeine (obviously) or knowing i have to be up early for a run/ride the next day. Then my brain thinks itās frickin hilarious to keep me awake all night!

When I was a stable lad I once feel asleep while sat on a horse. I had been up all night.
I can nap in the car, on buses and trains and short haul flights no bother. But in cattle class on long haul 
At least business class next time.

I donāt think they make new recruits do it so much these days, but when I was a lad we had to work long weekends in the hospital. Kind of like a backyard ultra I guess, except we didnāt have to pay to do it. But we did have to do it one weekend in five or six.
Anyway, this must have been a bad weekend because I got home on Monday evening, having left for work on Saturday morning, and realised:
- I really needed the toilet; and
- My shirt socks and scrundies badly needed to go in the laundry basket.
However, being in a sort of sleep-deprived confusional state, I instead put my clothes in the toilet. Just managed to stop myself before peeing in the laundry basket.

No worries sleeping for me either.
I only find I struggle if Iāve done a really hard bike session too late. Chain gang or vo2 efforts and Iām still buzzing hours later. Or if Iāve got something important to do the next day. Iāll then wake up constantly, stressing about my alarm!

Exactly 
Yes. Thatās also too late for me.
Bed at 10pm.
Need to be exercised by 1930 at the latest.
Just over 2 weeks ago I injured my Metatsal in my left foot. Metatsalgia has been a bit of a theme for me. Generally 2-3 weeks no running or hiking then it is good. Did a 3 hour hike yesterday, foot felt OK, not fully recovered, but no accute pain. Managed an 11km run on treadmil at 5:30 pace, nice to see HR at 114bpm, didnāt even get a sweat on. Mild discomfort in foot, but seems to be fine. Will see tomorrow how it feels
With metatasalgia, if I wait for pain to disappear, I would probably be waiting for 4+ weeks, however, I find that if I start running gently at the right point it heals much faster
I have Lucern Marathon in 10 days, I decided that if I wasnāt running before this weekend I would abandon, now thinking this it is probably 60:40 going to happen

I notice this site goes quite about 10.30. Everyone tucked up in bed like good triathletes. Just me, party for 1.

10:30 is about 2hrs before I go to bed, most times. I had hoped my sleep would become more consistent as my training did but it didnāt happen. I did go to bed earlier for a while but I didnāt sleep any more.
