Let's talk about sleep or lack thereof in my case. I have trouble getting to sleep, then I wake up at least 4 or 5 times a night and find my best sleep is probably between the hours of 3 and 6am (if I get to sleep in that long!). My issue is switching the 'ol brain off at night. I'm not really a person who outwardly stresses, so therefore I tend to take my stresses, check lists etc to bed with me (rather than someone else if you know what i'm saying eh eh) and haven't yet figured out how to switch off in order to get some quality sleep. Do you feel like you have that same problem? Do you feel like you are not getting enough sleep and it is effecting your sporting performance, work performance, general happiness, health etc?
Well, after having met Ian Dunican at a Crossfit Endurance seminar, who happens to be very well studied in the art of 'sleeping and how it effects your performance', I thought I would pass on the information about his seminar that I will be attending which is coming up on Wednesday 20th June 2012 at "The Cell" in WA . Check out the details below and happy sleeping for those of you that are out like a light when the head hits the pillow...and for those of you like me...see you at the seminar! ha
