All this talk of sleep had me thinking back to the early days of this blog and my experiment with polyphasic sleeping. Looking back, I feel that it simply wasn’t conducive to a highly active lifestyle or even simply 3x week strength training. It seemed more well suited to a sedentary lifestyle. There must be [...]
Since we touched on sleep in our previous recovery tips, I figured it was only logical to follow up with an article on how to actually do it. Now that might seem a bit odd, someone telling you how to sleep. You know how, and at night you get tired an whenever you do it’s [...]
Well, I have been feeling a bit under the weather and I’m 95% positive it has nothing to do with biphasic sleep being the cause. I’m not sick, just feeling a bit… drained. This happens to me every 8 - 12 months as I’m sure it has to most of you who train hard, especially [...]
