Hi there, Linkadge,
Do you mean that PEA keeps increasing only if you've exercised for more than two hours, or that PEA continues to increase for more than two hours after exercising?I've read that, in some people, vigorous (whatever the heck that means) exercise suppresses melatonin for about 12-13 hours, so that exercising too late in the day can delay sleep onset. I've found that applies to me, but I know a lot of people who exercise after work, yet they have no trouble falling asleep a few hours later.
I exercise (usually vigorous swimming) for about 40-45 minutes every day. A few times a week, I'm able to do only 30-35 minutes. The mood-lifting effects last until the following morning when I wake up. Then I feel like s**t again, and have to start all over. As I've said before, just call me Sisyphus.
