This is a good question.
There are a couple of things that immediately come to mind.
Firstly, I don't sleep enough.....not by choice. I'd love to be able to sleep 7-8 hours but find it impossible. My friggin maintenance insomnia often sees me waking up at 4ish in the morning. Never have a problem falling asleep but it's a rare event for me to wake after 6am.
Secondly, my family responsibilities mean my weeknight workouts are done after dinner. I'd much prefer to workout around 6:30pm then have a feed, but I have to help feed and bathe the kids, plus I wanna spend time with them anyway, so I workout when they're in bed. Not the best scenario from a training perspective, but family comes first.
EDIT - how could I forget....thirdly, injury prevents me doing OH press and bench press. This is a severe compromise that shits me no end, but at least I can still keep workout...would be horrendous if it was a back injury.

1. allergies (hayfever, sinusitis, exercise induced asthma) ... worst offender
2. fatigue from lack of sleep sometimes
3. over enthusiasm ... leads to over training...and general badness
4. niggling injuries (sometimes due to no. 3) - currently left shoulder so rehabbing to get some parity between left and right. a lot of heavier lifts out of the question until sorted. :-(

Nothing, and if it does I get rid of it, friends family etc.

This is admirable.
