Something I’ve noticed about doing this whole recovery thing is the fact that I’m sleeping a whole lot better.
I’m able to go to bed at a more regular time now, with the average being 11:30pm-midnight. I can stay asleep for more hours in a row, and even managed to get an 8-hour streak on a night earlier this week. That might not sound all too amazing, but there was a point only weeks ago where I was sleeping for two-hour intervals before waking up for five hours at a time. It threw everything off, because although I couldn’t sleep, I also didn’t have any energy to do anything else with the time; I ended up bumming around my apartment being too exhausted to even get up to make myself something to eat. It wasn’t a good way to be. Happily, though… I can report that now my appetite is a little bit better too, and I’m starting to think about and work on my off-day routines in case it’ll help even more.
Eating more and moving more helps you sleep? Shocking, I know. But if you’re having troubles with your moods, your sleep, and your general health… I can’t recommend this kind of fitness-focused plan more.
