There are some Red Flags that could mean your not getting enough rest:
• Do you feel chronically exhausted or very fatigued
• Moodiness and irritability
• Routine joint or muscle pain.
• Frequently feel dizzy or lightheaded.
• Reduced immunity; frequent colds and infections. Includes congestion or upper respiratory irritation… continuing to train thru this these kinds of symptoms just make things worse.
• Weight gain!!!
• Decline in performance. If you notice you cannot match efforts of intensity that are a part of regular training sessions. One tool a lot of people use is a heart rate monitor. While there are a ton of things that can impact your heart… if you notice your heart rate consistently seems higher than normal over the course of several days, this could be a sign you may need additional rest.
• Routinely feeling overwhelmed or challenges w/ stress
Even minimal sleep loss takes a toll on your mood, energy, and ability to handle stress. I have included a table outlining “Average Sleep Needs” ranging from infancy to Adults 18 +… these are averages… so obviously people need to think about what they are doing on any given week or day… and adjust accordingly… meaning need additional rest.
Average Sleep Needs
Age Hours
Newborns (0-2 months) 12 - 18
Infants (3 months to 1 year) 14 - 15
Toddlers (1 to 3 years) 12 - 14
Preschoolers (3 to 5 years) 11 - 13
School-aged children (5 to 12 years) 10 - 11
Teens and preteens (12 to 18 years) 8.5 - 10
Adults (18+) 7.5 - 9
there are a couple of key things that can help make sure you and your family are getting enough rest.
• Set a target - Aim for at least 7.5 hours of sleep every night. Make sure you don’t fall farther in debt by blocking off enough time for sleep each night. Consistency is the key.
• Keep a SLEEP DIARY. Record when you go to bed, when you get up, your total hours of sleep, and how you feel during the day. As you keep track of your sleep, you’ll discover your natural patterns and get to know your sleep needs.
• Pay back sleep debt with an extra hour or two per night. If you lost 10 hours of sleep, pay the debt back in nightly one or two-hour installments.
• Environment - Pay attention to area where you sleep. Key things you want to control… Noise, Temperature, Lighting, Mattress (what your sleeping on)
