A member asked:

Could it be bad for you to work out when you're really tired or sleepy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: No, and a workout can be refreshing when you are not as alert as you normally are. A word of caution is that when you are tired or sleepy you can be predisposed to injury due to your lack of alertness so be careful.
