A lesson in basketball losses, and being kept up at night

Sometimes after I play basketball, I lie awake in bed unable to sleep. I’m told this has something to do with the rush of adrenaline the body experiences when out on the court. I don’t know if that’s technically true, though it’s always sounded reasonable to me.

The pattern is this: I spend my day sitting at a desk in front of a computer. Then, once a week, for an hour in the evening, I run up and down as fast and as hard as I physically can in an attempt to win a basketball game. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don’t.
