Training Hard? Working Hard? Playing Hard?
So here's a challenge that all sportspeople could benefit from on occasion. A really good night's sleep.
You'll know the best way to ensure that you are able to sleep - chances are if you're training regularly that shouldn't be a problem. But still making a priority to avoid distractions and hit the pillow early is surprisingly challenging these days.
Treat yourself to a good night's sleep! Challenge rules
- Try to add an hour to your minimum daily average night's sleep or let nature wake you up
- Disconnect anything that could disturb you - phones, alarm clocks etc.
- Mark the challenge complete if, by lunchtime, you are feeling the rewards of nature's true restorative!
- Not all types of physical activity are suitable for everyone. Users take Challenges and training advice at their own personal risk.

“Actually did this over the week-end, Sat & Sun, made myself stay in bed after I woke up and dozed for another hour or two both days, felt really good, maybe too good... I think I may have over did it on the golf swings on Sunday. (sore today!) :-) Am making an effort to get into a better routine and get better sleep habits.”

Suki N answered the question Is taking a melatonin pill a dis-qualifier?
My thoughts on Melatonin are, it's an antioxidant like Vitamin C. If you have a deficiency and can't get to sleep without it. There is nothing wrong with taking it. If you had the right ammounts of melatonin in yo...
