Good Sleep is Underrated

Good sleep is important to me. It allows the body to recover, the brain to process information, and the cells to rebuild. You are not done after a successful session or a hard day in the gym. Good sleep closes the loop. If you train hard you also need to rest hard. Easy to forget.

I aim for 8 to 9 hours of sleep every day. Consistency is equally important — going to bed at roughly the same time, something I still never kept up for more than a month (but it would be good). There is no problem in occasionally sleeping less. It is more about the general habit.

I read about this 3-2-1 rule:

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

A good orientation.
