Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I’ve read the scary headlines about what poor sleep does to me and now I lie there panicking about my sleep score, which is obviously making it worse
- 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
- 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
- I keep stealing from sleep to fit in more training
- There’s a tangled decision with too many moving parts to hold in my head all at once, and I feel pushed to just call it now and be done
