Are you Sleeping
Most of the time people get six to seven hours a sleep a night. Now is this time well spent? Are you in deep sleep, or are you tossing and turning the night away?

There are many external factors that can alter your sleep. The more you pay attention to these factors the better your chances are of getting enough rest during the night.

A few factors are:
Light
Jet lag and shift work
Pain, Anxiety, and Other Medical Conditions
Medications and Other Substances
Sleep environment

Marks Daily Apples write up on “How light affects our sleep” here:

Harvard has two articles on the subject: “External Factors that influence sleep” and Deep into sleep; A Culture of “Sleep Bulimia”

After reading the articles what is one thing you will change to help you sleep better at night?

Comfortable with Uncomfortable

James “OPT” Fitzgereld coined the phrase to describe both CrossFit and life. Those who are the most comfortable being uncomfortable will come out on top. During a WOD the ones who can withstand the pain and mental challenges will finish first.

Are you comfortable with being uncomfortable?

Check out his explanation of “comfortable with uncomfortable” here:

    Thanks a lot for yesterday. I learned more than you could ever know. There is no question about your ability to teach. I look forward to learning more from you and stretching my mind and body (like that one huh?). CrossFit to me is a lifelong passion and I definitely like the way you are doing it over there. Thanks for showing me your love and passion for CrossFit it definitely shows. ---Randy
