Signs of over training:
Lack of progress.
Diminished desire to train.
Injuries.
Unless you're a very experienced lifter (Don't ego yourself here, the chances of you being an experienced lifter is probably null. This is usually professional athletes.), , the chances of you worrying about over-training, is most likely you just missing a meal. Over-training is not soreness. It is like the flu and most people have never experienced it.
Should probably be more worried about under-training.
Do those things really make a difference in your sleep? The "My Pillow" pillows I mean. My wife has been after me to buy her two of them for months now. The problem is that she already uses eleven pillows. It's crazy! But that's another story.focus on is quality sleep. (Hello My Pillow)

It has almost everything to do with it as newer people don't even remotely have the ability to fire the CNS like a trained athlete. 100% max effort for someone training for 3 years is entirely different than 100% for a 10 year power-lifter.Being a "professional lifter" (whatever that means) has nothing to do with overtraining.
Overtraining is caused by not allowing the myofibrils to repair before being damaged again; catalyst depletion from lifting and not consuming enough protein to produce muscle synthesis and CNS failure. This can happen to anyone.

I have to sleep on a very flat pillow.Pillows make a shit ton difference in sleep quality if you can find the pillow for "you".
That's how I am too. I have a tough time sleeping on a big or fat pillow. That's why I'm skeptical of those "my pillow" ones. They look pretty fat to me.I have to sleep on a very flat pillow.
Exactly, everytime I see the commercial I say "not for me"That's how I am too. I have a tough time sleeping on a big or fat pillow. That's why I'm skeptical of those "my pillow" ones. They look pretty fat to me.

But can't your bones, tendons, and ligaments be over stressed from strength training too? That can be a form of over training also if you're training with close to your maximum poundages too many times per weekThere's a difference in muscular over training and cns function.
The first thing would be, what type of training are you doing. If you're a strength athlete, cns will probably take a hit before your body. Vice versa for a "bodybuilder".

In terms of tendons and ligaments, I would be more concerned with form, mobility and strengthening muscles surrounding those things. If those three are taken care of you should be fine.But can't your bones, tendons, and ligaments be over stressed from strength training too?
