Sleep and recovery

Sleep isn't a luxury; it's the basis of recovery. For most people working long hours, it's the biggest untapped reserve.

Common questions

  • Why do I wake at three in the morning?
  • Does bedtime really matter?
  • What do I do about late-evening work?

First steps

  1. Set a fixed wake time – weekends included.
  2. Build a 30-minute wind-down after your last work email.
  3. Make the bedroom darker and a few degrees cooler.
