Welcome to the Purple Patch Podcast. In this week’s episode, IRONMAN Master Coach Matt Dixon delves deep into the subject of sleep. In this episode, we aim to provide you with an action plan to help you improve the quality of your sleep.
If you're an athlete, this episode is crucial as quality sleep is essential for maximizing the benefits of your training. If you're focused on excelling in the workplace, this episode is equally important as sleep can help to stabilize your energy and optimize cognitive function.
First, Matt provides insight into establishing the right mindset towards sleep to develop a realistic approach to implementing changes to your sleep routine. He then breaks down the various stages of a typical night's sleep to give us a better understanding of how sleep impacts our bodies on a physiological level. Finally, Matt provides actionable tips to develop the practices that can help build consistency and establish opportunities for growth, adaptations, and repair.
With these recommendations, we aim to help you achieve high-quality sleep and a baseline level of energy and cognitive function to make the most of your days.
