I wake between 5.45 and 6.30am, depending on when my son Forest decides to be my alarm. I use the Eight Sleep system, but not to obsess over my sleep score — it’s more like a dashboard. If my recovery looks poor, I’ll adapt my training.
I try to be conscious of five to 10 breaths and stay in silence for two to five minutes before moving. It’s a tiny habit, but changes the direction of the day. Most of us wake up and immediately become someone with problems to solve.
