Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I cram late into the night and cut my sleep short to squeeze in more reps, then wake up feeling like half of it leaked out overnight
- When things get busy and stressful, sleep is the first thing I cut to claw back hours
- I keep stealing from sleep to fit in more training
- Lately I’m emotionally raw and foggy even on a decent number of hours, and I’ve been having a drink to drop off plus setting an early alarm
- I keep telling myself it doesn’t matter when I go to bed as long as I get my hours, but I wake up physically unrested no matter what
