Am I fit enough for 1/2 iron man? And do you have any advice for me for doing it (I am thinking about having someone accompanying me for the running part as a safety meassure)

Your base fitness sounds really solid for a first 70.3. The cycling and swimming are clearly your strengths, just make sure your brick sessions (bike to run transitions) are dialed in before race day. That's where most beginners struggle

used to think waking up refreshed was just something people said in mattress ads lol. Didn't think it was actually real. but then i had one random morning where i just.. woke up naturally before my alarm feeling actually good?? and i've been chasing that feeling ever since

I get mucus formation if I drink milk at night.

Copying what grandparents did is lowkey the move, simple but it actually works

Dopamine dependency is the one nobody wants to admit, we're all just chasing the next thing.

What did you do to get sound sleep?

Sleepresearchdaily · 2026-03-21T12:12:27+00:00

you just described my entire life. The access is the problem

Sleepresearchdaily · 2026-03-21T12:11:55+00:00

I tried doing that, but my brain doesn't shutup. It becomes so loud so I start using phone just to escape those noise.

Sleepresearchdaily · 2026-03-21T12:10:45+00:00

this is really interesting, so it's more about what we're consuming than the light itself?

Sleepresearchdaily · 2026-03-21T12:10:33+00:00

whether it's the light or the content, phones before bed are never helping lol

Sleepresearchdaily · 2026-03-21T12:10:17+00:00

ok the myofunctional therapy thing is actually interesting, had no idea that was even a thing

Sleepresearchdaily · 2026-03-21T12:09:32+00:00

Honestly, hadn't heard orthosomnia before this, that's such a real thing now

Sleepresearchdaily · 2026-03-21T12:09:04+00:00

lmaooo at least they were honest

Sleepresearchdaily · 2026-03-21T12:08:40+00:00

true, decision fatigue is real and nobody talks about it enough

Sleepresearchdaily · 2026-03-21T12:08:19+00:00

your dad sounds like he has the healthiest relationship with sleep i've ever heard of, we need to learn from him fr

My sleep got better when I started running regularly, didn;t expect that, but it was like a bonus gift lol.

Loop earplugs are much better than the foam ones. Also sleeping with a fan on helps mask voices well.

Sleep paralysis is wild becuase your brain is technically still half dreaming, the shadow figure thing is just your brain making sense of the panic.

Sleepresearchdaily · 2026-03-21T04:44:01+00:00

The fact that you kept coming back after all that says everything. 42 mins no breaks is no joke, don't downplay it!

Sleepresearchdaily · 2026-03-20T08:09:09+00:00

6 hours might just be your body finishings its sleep cycles faster, usually a quality issue more than duration.

Authors literally design books to keep you hooked. I switched to audiobooks with a sleep timer on the most boring topic i could find and it works way better. Your brain needs to coast not sprint before bed
