My husband was watching the Today show the other day. There was a psychologist on it that said Americans (don't know about Canadians) are averaging 6.1 hours per night, way below the recommened 8 (for most people; individuals vary). Apparently, brain activity falls way off after that. I'm sure swimming performance must too. So
1. How much sleep are people getting?
2. How much sleep would you like to get?
3. How much sleep is conducive to best swim performance?
4. Does lack of sleep effect your performance at practice or a meet?
I get 6-7 during the week and it's not enough. I'm always tired. When I don't have to wake up for anything on the weekends I'll sleep 9-10 hours. I'm also a big fan of naps whenever possible.
I wish I was one of those people who can get by fine on 6 hours, but clearly I'm not.
