Fix Your Sleep First

Sleep sleep recovery habits

I prioritize my sleep. Good sleep is very important to me. It allows the body to recover, the brain to process information, and the cells to rebuild.

I aim for 8 to 9 hours of sleep every day. The next most important metric is consistency - going to bed at roughly the same time. There is no problem in occasionally sleeping less. It is more about the general habit.

A good workout is even better when you have good sleep. That makes it complete.

There is this 3-2-1 rule:

  • 3 hours before bed: no food
  • 2 hours before bed: no water
  • 1 hour before bed: no screen

Do I always follow that? No. But it is a helpful orientation.
