Reflect: Sleep and Recovery 1






So:  we’ve spent three weeks talking about and maybe working on various aspects of fitness.  We might be tired.  Time to talk about sleep and recovery.

The two are related.  Sleep is a great recovery strategy.  A whole lot of us don’t get enough sleep and we don’t get good sleep.  How to tell?  Do you wake up rested?  QED.

 

Recovery is a broader concept.  It’s all the things we do to help our bodies feel better after we work them.  It includes things like nutrition and massage, foam rolling, and, a concept I would really like to introduce to my Wristy Overlord (aka Apple Watch):  rest days.

 

We will know if we are recovering enough if we are not constantly sore.
