Tip #2 from pro triathlete Kevin Collington.
Sleep. The number one recovery tool in your belt.
You can increase nightly sleep by sticking to a routine and having a good setup. Pick a “shut down” time at night. For me it’s 7pm – no more work, only dinner and lounge time.
Winding down for sleep.
Make sure your bedroom is dark and the correct temperature (for me 20c is great).
Limit phone screen or TV screen exposure (I wear blue-light filtering glasses at night).
Don’t use your bed for computer time or TV time – train your mind to know that bed=sleep.
This has increased my nightly sleep from ~7 hour to more like 9.5.
