EP 578: Sleep is Training

One of our favorite topics at TRN is sleep. Sleep is the time our bodies adapt to the training stimulus. Alexey Guzey, a researcher, writer and co-founder and executive director of New Science joins us to shed more light on this important part of our training. We cover many topics like:

• What are the myths of sleep?
• Why do we sleep?
• Is it OK to feel sleepy?
• Should we get as much sleep as our body wants?
• Can we over sleep?
• Can we bank sleep?
• Can we catch up on sleep?
• Depression and sleep
