Often times your head tells you one thing and your heart the other and there never has been any comprehensive study done on this subject as to which is the truer organ that one needs listen to because there've been different results each time and lets face it, these pieces of meat have a tendency to get rogue and conspire against, giving the worst advice during moments of crisis.
Case in point exercise/training/workout.
Just couple days ago I'd written how my body was still adapting to the massive time zone shifts and the prevailing dullness combined with sudden spurts of drowsiness goaded terrible mood and irritation, which is why much against my own advice, the one that my heart gave me and going with my mind I decided to work out to rid myself the listlessness.
What began as a thought to do a small bit of easy stretch routine extended into a 40 min lower body torching workout which I felt lovely after and dead the day next when my glutes made their resentment felt along with my thighs that were pillars of cement.
So yesterday was a bit of upper body and abs and because I didn't sweat any after the 30 min workout I decided to do a short burst of 10 min HIIT to amplify the workout and feel alive, except my legs were having none of it., so today they have gone on an all-out strike and refuse to have anything done to them except perhaps sit and massage.
And now that I'm done with the housework and the over-ambitious cleaning I grunt as I feel the muscles crying in my thighs.
Gods, this is the kind of soreness I love feeling after I've changed my workout and increased my reps, except it didn't happen because of that.
Instead of easing slowly after an almost 20-day break I charged like a mechanical bull and well, here I am typing about this.
Is it serious? No, absolutely not, but it is fun to realize that I'm only just human and that my heart and mind are pulling a fast one on me every time.

often times when we've changed our eating patterns and diet it tends to affect sleep, and especially during Intermittent fasting, when the body makes do on much shorter bursts of sleep as opposed to longer ones. I mean this is just a theory, but perhaps a reason as well?
