Your dopamine and norepinephrine peak in the morning to keep you alert, then drop in the evening as serotonin and melatonin rise. That neurochemical shift is why you get irritable at night. Save running for morning and meditation for evening, since running burns more energy than your brain has left by then.
The first eight hours of your circadian rhythm got higher levels of dopamine, high levels of norepinephrine. Now in the second eight hours of your day you're more serotonergic because serotonin, melatonin, melatonin sleep. And that is why we tend to be a little bit more irritable in the evening. We're more emotional. Serotonin has, you know, emotional regulation and can also make you feel a bit more warm and fuzzy, if you will. I always say that, you know, trying to adopt habits that are calmer, less metabolically sort of demanding. And I got scrutinized online because I said something like meditation is better in the evening than the morning if you're trying to adopt it as a habit versus running.
Did the yogi people try to bully you because yoga bullies are the best?
I don't know if they were yogis but factually speaking, running is going to take up more energy from you than something like meditation. This is the honest that is the fact.
