Wildman's post is right on...you get best results from Lex when you make accompanying lifestyle changes..sleep is VERY important..probably THE most important thing..make sure you get your rest! also best to limit alcohol and caffeine as well, and be sure to put yourself and your recovery first..in sports they call it "playing within yourself"..meaning, know your limits, if you are not a home run hitter, hit singles and doubles..it translates to real life, dont work harder than you have to..dont take on projects or extracurricular activities that you dont have time for..(although by all means stay active!)thats how i think of it..best of luck and hope you have continued success!
nick> Congratulations on making it over the "hump", with Lex, the first few weeks can be rough and it sounds like you are doing well.

> I have also reduced my alcohol consumption quite a bit. I rarely drink during the week, and on the weekend i really try to pace myself. Plus, the alcohol isn't as enjoyable (for me) as it once was. I did have many drinks this weekend as all of my wife's college roomates came into town and we did imbibe quite a bit.

> In addition to limiting your alcohol, try to really be protective of your sleep time. I find that to get the most from my Lex, I need to really be well rested. I now work hard to get a solid 8 hours a night. Alcohol interferes with good sleep, so if I have had drinks on the weekend, I make sure that I'm almost sober by the time I go to bed.
