Diet and hydration, lack of, can cause it
I dont eat anything during delivery or drink much really so I don't need to pee too much
That's a mistake. Make some sandwiches and take them into work. Eat bananas - if they are good enough for top tennis players they are good enough for us. Also, take a pee when necessary - pubs, cafes, shops, supermarkets. Work your hours.
Get your sleep in - anything less than seven hours and you are compromising short term performance and long term health. And, note, hours lost on even one night can't be caught up the following night or with a lie-in at th eweek-end - sleep doesn't work like that. Don't take my word for it - google it - sleep research is advancing every year .
Thank you. That sounds good. Eating might help. My sleep isn't great but I get in bed with the intent of 8 hours.

Yeah, that isn't good. You need to keep hydrated
Lack of toilets is a big problem on some walks
You can go back to the office - less time to do your delivery :thumbup
