Thanks Craig .I am suffering from chronic sleep debt – The sleep bank should be calling my mortgage but it is partly my own fault for staying up late in peace and quiet to blog and read blogs, plus breastfeeding my co sleeping twins.
Your have enlightened me to a strategy for changing my sleeping ugly behaviour !
I did have getting to bed by midnight as one of my good intentions and so far I made it a few times. I had decided last night to set a timer to remind me that bedtime was approaching …I MUST now !

I often read of keeping to a regular sleep pattern which precludes sleeping in because it gets you out of routine.

Having to keep to a pattern because of work/children never suited me. Now I work from home and children are grown I am lucky to be able sleep when I feel the need and this has made a huge difference to me. I finally do get enough sleep.

I am not sure if this is meant to be a good way to approach sleeping but it seems to work well for me.

I think keeping a sleep diary is a terrific idea. I am sure there is a direct correlation between my moods and my sleep patterns. Sound Advice.

Hi Derek.

The two biggest factors in the recovery thing are 1. Nutrition and 2. Rest. Our body repairs and recovers more when we sleep that when we're awake. When we 'under sleep', we don't provide our body with the best chance to do that.

Cheers.

As you are an exercise expert i am particularly interested in point thirteen: 13. If you work out, or you are an athlete, you won’t recover optimally. Can you tell me a little more about the why? As someone who trains regularly I have always considered sleep as overrated.

WOW! One third of all drivers will fall asleep while driving at least once in their lifetime.
I am sorry to say I have done this ;( but I did not know that so many others also had. Top blog!
