For me it isn’t. I’m an avid cyclist and have a Garmin Forerunner 955. There is a feature where it displays your remaining stamina based on some metrics. I literally did a ride until it reached 0% and felt it the next 2 days. It wasn’t that I could not have gone a few more km, but I was simply groggy for those 2 days.

But I slept like shit. What happens is that I can sleep really well for a short time after I end the ride and that is wonderful. But at night? Not at all. It feels like I’m too exhausted to fall asleep. It feels as strange as it sounds.
