    I like this urbane smoking jacket vibe. We just need some Vic Damone in the background and the evening pape.

    What worked for me was magnesium. It completely changed my life. If you struggle to fall and stay asleep, look into magnesium. It's an amazing supplement.

    Something that has helped me so much recovery wise is calling a training week 7-10 days. This allows so much more flexibility. It also allows for you to postpone a workout a day or two if you’re feeling too tender still. It also helps destress about “I have to do it today!” Type of attitude. No dude you don’t as long as you’re disciplined you can do it tomorrow.

    My addition: 1. Get decent mattress and pillows 2. If your lifestyle allows it, go to sleep and wake up at the same times each day 3. If you are sleeping with a partner, get separate blankets 4. Never hit snooze on your alarm! Just set it for the time when you actually get out of bed

    General advice is to not consume caffeine after 2PMish. That gives your body enough time to process what you've consumed previously without impacting your ability to go to sleep.

    Avoiding sodium intake late in the day is very important. I get very thirsty at night because of all the sodium I usually eat. Then I’m taking head calls every 2 hours and there goes my sleep thrown out the window.

    I sleep better in a cold room - and I kinda hate that that's true, because I have to be warm, or at least my feet and hands. Warm me, cool air - that's the magic.

    My guy could earn his psych PhD with #4. The ability to be bored is CRITICAL to successful and healthy adaptation in the real world. Every time my sons tell me they're bored, I simply say "good. Enjoy it."

    Two things; not unusual that people wake up 2-3am, historically people did things with that time other than just making more people - it has evolutionary origins tied to vulnerability when we were prey species and so we tend to have “existential upset” at that time, you can read Matthew Walker about it and all but do NOT let it stress you out, don’t dwell on it. The other thing is casein protein is a good slow-digesting snack before bed, you can make an easy pudding with a scoop and some almond milk (good with some peanut butter).

    It's funny to watch Alan videos after a long time away from his channel. I remember watching time and time again his squats, press and other videos in the beginning of my lift jorney. Then I read some of the books he recommended(Greg, Starting Strength, Superior Man, Better them steroids), watch some videos from dudes he recommends, gain so much knowledge that I rarely watch lifting content. Watching this video gives me the same nostalgic sensation as when I visit college after years of being a graduated, passing through to a classroom door getting a glimpse of your favorite professor lecturing and you remember how it was to be there learning from him, then it click and you learn how to love the journey. Thanks Alan Thrall, I always "TRAIIINNNNNN UNTAAAAAAMEEEEDnd"

    For tip #1, if you only have one room available (like me), this should still work, just on a smaller scale: Keep your bed for sleeping only, don't lay down on your bed to relax and scroll the phone/watch youtube netflix etc.

    Severe sleep apnea (about 50 times an hour each hour) while I sleep has my sleep quality destroyed. Still been able to become pretty jacked and strong despite it but it makes it way more difficult and has def increased my time spent injured. Have a surgery for the inspire device on Tuesday (attempted to use a cpap for years with absolutely zero improvement from it). Hopefully I'll be getting better and sleep and feeling/performing better within the next few months

    I hate the way we name these sports in general, it's usually not the most accurate. Powerlifting should call Weightlifting (that's the sport where most of the weight will be lifted) Weightlifting should call Powerlifting (that's the sport you really express "power") In my native language (portuguese) they use: Levantamento de Peso Olímpico (Olympic Weightlifting) Levantamento de Peso Básico (something like Base/Basic Weightlifting)

    Man, I installed an AC unit, have a blindfold, tape my mouth (sometimes, I don't have any problems other than having to use new tape every night) and draped stuff over my window But honestly night shift has been eating me alive, I've taken prescribed sleeping pills and only slept in 3 hour chunks (had to go back to sleep twice to get ~7 hours) and while at work I've had to try to take power naps and cram food in my gullet to make it through I can't even change jobs because it fucks with my military application (also because I think it's pussying out for getting so knackered from night shift when the military will do worse) Shit's so damn frustrating, and it makes lifting scarier because I'm lightheaded and easy to gas out through the entire workout, I am trying go workout before work but it's also smack during peak hours when everything is taken up
