Sock Doc Podcast #12 At Trail Runner Nation: Sleep – The Other Half of Training

I’m back after a long hiatus on TRN to discuss why SLEEP really is very important to your training. We discuss:

• Why is sleep so important?
• Do athletes need more sleep?
• What is good restful sleep?
• What are some of the factors that keep us from restful sleep?
• Are stimulants effecting our sleep?
• Common signs of poor sleep
• Sleep monitors, are they useful?
• Can you “catch up” on sleep?
