Why Sleep Is Your #1 Recovery Tool with Dr Michael Grandner

Why Sleep Is Your #1 Recovery Tool with Dr Michael Grandner

Struggling to recover despite solid training and nutrition? You might be missing the most powerful recovery tool of all — sleep.

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr Michael Grandner, Director of the Sleep and Health Research Program at the University of Arizona and a world-leading expert in sleep science. We break down exactly why sleep matters so much for endurance athletes, what’s really going on when you miss sleep, and how to get better quality shut-eye — even when you’re training hard, managing work and juggling life.

We cover:

  • Why sleep is essential for adaptation and recovery — not just rest

  • The truth about how much sleep triathletes actually need

  • What to do if your sleep is disrupted or inconsistent

  • Why wearables are helpful — but not the whole story

  • Practical strategies to improve sleep tonight
