Follow-up: SUNDAY... Went for a walk around the neighborhood that night, thanks to the consensus on this board, and got 6.5 hours of sleep that night. Monday morning, felt more clear-headed in the morning than I had in two weeks. So I assumed: Exercise is good!

MONDAY... So Monday night, feeling emboldened, I did 30 minutes on the trainer at 75% max heart rate (85% is more my usual rate, with interval training up to 95%). Followed with another 6.5 hours of sleep. This morning feels like a significant step back into fogginess and light headed sensations.

I know, I know… sub-8 hours of sleep is not optimal, but I don't necessarily see a correlation there, since getting 8 hours of sleep over the weekend did not help, and the clearest I've felt in 10 days was following 6 hours of sleep and a 1.5 mile walk.

So I guess the conclusion I draw is that I'm not yet far along with my healing process to do semi-intense exercise like I did last night. I find it somewhat bizarre. Again, maybe it has to do with my body repairing a broken bone simultaneously. I’ll stick with the walking for now.
