Extra sleep can make you a better athlete!

I'm convinced!

Wes has been sick. Same story as the rest of us, blah blah blah. So, he told me that he wanted to take the week off from getting up super early to workout. I was more than happy to agree because I love sleep. If I could get paid to sleep, I would do it. Professional sleeper- yes, that is me.

So, this week I've been sleeping in until 7 am and each workout so far has been top notch. Not that I'm killing it out there, just that I feel so good. Rested. Happy. Awake.

So, in conclusion (reverting to ninth grade English class here), I believe more sleep is the answer for me. The only problem with it is the rest of my day is a bit more crowded, but it may be worth it. I'm going to keep this going, at least for the rest of this week, and make my final analysis then.
