And when \u201csocial life\u201d now includes mostly non-negotiable activities like spending time with your kids, exercising, and taking the time to prepare healthy food for yourself and your family, skimping on those eight hours of sleep we\u2019re supposed to get each night starts to become a pretty attractive option.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not news that as a culture, we\u2019re sleep deprived. Starbucks wouldn\u2019t be a $15-billion\/year company if we all woke up smiling and chipper every morning. (Check out <a href=\"https:\/\/further.net\/\">this week\u2019s issue<\/a> of Brian Clark\u2019s <em>Further<\/em>, my favorite weekly email digest about \u201chealth, wealth and wisdom,\u201d for loads of compelling reasons to get your z\u2019s.)<\/p>\n<h3>And if you&#8217;re an athlete &#8230;<\/h3>\n<p>&#8230; then sleep matters even more. In his&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=vce-pVYIjx8\">ultrarunning talk<\/a> from the Woodstock Fruit Festival (starting around the 18:00 mark), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomeatathlete.com\/natural-workout-nutrition\/\">Michael Arnstein<\/a> says that how much sleep he gets the night before a 100-miler is one of the most important factors in how he\u2019ll perform &#8212; he even goes as far as to wear a blindfold, earplugs, and a hat to bed; sleep in isolation; and several days&nbsp;before the race, start hitting the sack in the early evening so that he\u2019ll get used to the early bedtime and be able to log eight to ten hours before waking up at 4am on race day.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not just performance, though &#8212; sleep is essential for optimal recovery, too. Ask any bodybuilder who has succeeded in adding lots of muscle to their frame, and he\u2019ll tell you that sleep is right up there with lifting and eating. (Well, for natural bodybuilders at least.) And for vegan or vegetarian athletes concerned about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomeatathlete.com\/vegetarian-protein-primer\/\">protein<\/a> &#8212; I don\u2019t think you need to be, but still &#8212; during sleep your body\u2019s cells <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ninds.nih.gov\/disorders\/brain_basics\/understanding_sleep.htm#for_us\">synthesize proteins and lessen the rate of protein breakdown<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Ok, so I\u2019ve made the point: sleep matters. And it&#8217;s not just quantity, but quality.<\/p>\n<p>The way to get more sleep is simple: make it a priority and go to bed earlier. Of course, this probably means sacrificing some of that broad category I\u2019ve called \u201csocial life\u201d \u2026 and if you just can\u2019t do that, you can at least work on sleeping <em>better<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Here are 7 ideas to help you do just that:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Determine which <a href=\"https:\/\/greatist.com\/happiness\/best-sleep-positions\">type of sleeper<\/a> you are, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sleeplikethedead.com\/pillow-sleeping-positions.html\">get the right pillow<\/a> for that position.<\/strong> On your back is best, on your stomach is worst, and on your side is okay. I\u2019ve personally had a few problems due in part to sleeping on my stomach with my arms above my head, including headaches (referred from neck tightness) and shoulder pain, so I&#8217;ve recently switched to sleeping on my back and am gradually adjusting.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Don\u2019t drink alcohol close to bedtime.<\/strong> This is a biggie. Alcohol can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drinkaware.co.uk\/check-the-facts\/health-effects-of-alcohol\/effects-on-the-body\/alcohol-and-sleep\">ruin the restfulness<\/a> of your sleep, even when it feels like you\u2019re sleeping soundly through the night. Give your body at least one hour per drink (preferably more) to process any alcohol you drink in the evening before bed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Instead, drink tart cherry juice.<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/22038497\/\">In one study<\/a>, adults who drank two daily glasses of tart cherry juice concentrate for seven days slept about 40 minutes longer and 6 percent more efficiently than those who did not. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abstractsonline.com\/Plan\/ViewAbstract.aspx?sKey=3d1fd27c-59e8-4ec8-8434-49dd2bcc3b92&amp;cKey=017b6e27-fe50-4d8a-b4b1-3f53b800a544&amp;mKey=5b9d1ebb-5eef-4e8e-9ffa-641686838541\">Other studies<\/a> have shown tart cherry juice to reduce the severity of insomnia, including an almost 90-minute increase in older insomniacs after just two weeks of twice-daily tart cherry juice. Most of the research on tart cherry juice has been based on one ounce of concentrate or eight ounces of juice, twice per day. I get mine by adding the concentrate to my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomeatathlete.com\/the-perfect-smoothie-formula\/\">smoothie<\/a> in the morning, then having a glass post-workout, usually in the afternoon. See my first post about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomeatathlete.com\/tart-cherry-juice-challenge\/\">tart cherry juice<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomeatathlete.com\/tart-cherries-results\/\">subsequent results<\/a> for more details.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Have some almond butter before bed.<\/strong> In the <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomeatathlete.com\/four-hour-body-review\/\">4-Hour Body<\/a><\/em>, biohacker Tim Ferriss says that in his own experiments, two tablespoons of raw almond butter on celery sticks before bed helped him feel noticeably more rested upon waking.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Establish a bedtime routine.<\/strong> My friend Jeff Sanders of the <a href=\"https:\/\/jeffsanders.com\/\">5AM Miracle<\/a> podcast sets an alarm to go off one hour before his ideal bedtime, at which point he shifts into an evening routine designed to turn off his brain and prepare for sleep. A good pre-bedtime routine might include comfortable clothes, meditation, and reading fiction (which for most people is less likely than non-fiction to stimulate planning-type thoughts that will keep you awake). Personally, I find that listening to an audiobook, which just like meditation requires focus, usually puts me right to sleep when my mind is racing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reduce the amount of light in your bedroom.<\/strong> A few years ago I realized that my wife and I had no fewer than six forms of electronic light in our room while we slept (digital clocks, cell phone charge indicators, modem and wireless router, etc.), and eliminating every last one of them has helped to create a far more pleasant environment for shuteye.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use your bedroom for two things only: sleep and making babies.<\/strong> If you haven\u2019t done it yet and if you change nothing else about your bedroom environment, do yourself and your partner the favor of giving the TV the boot. Completely aside from what it did for our sleep habits, limiting television time to the living room was our first step in eventually watching so little that we <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomeatathlete.com\/all-the-time-you-need\/\">cut cable<\/a> altogether.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Sweet dreams!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This post is sponsored by the Cherry Marketing Institute, the third in a series of six I\u2019m doing in partnership with them this year.
