Can you bank sleep to improve performance?

I am well aware of the irony of finalising this video after 11pm at night 🤦 but no-one's perfect 😉
This video is all about what to do, and what not to do, before embarking on a sleep deprivation challenge - travel, a big deadline at work, an ultra endurance event, or rowing around Britain 🇬🇧🚣
It turns out we're not so hot at 'adapting' to short sleep as many of us think we are.. at least as far as alertness is concerned.
The best performance is likely to come with a minimal sleep debt...
I'll be tracking my sleep using an Oura ring throughout the row, AND testing my alertness using the PVT task every day during the row... more on this in a future post!
I'll be leaving home in a few hours to meet the boat, Roxy, and then we'll be setting off on Sunday morning! I will send some pics when I can :)
Huge thanks to everyone for all your messages of support 😁 xx

The connection between sleep, endurance, and performance is especially interesting for anyone preparing for a demanding sporting challenge. Getting enough rest before an event can make a real difference, particularly when the goal is to stay focused and perform consistently under pressure. I also like the idea of recognizing those efforts with something tangible, such as a personalized championship belt, which could make a memorable award for an endurance event or sporting achievement.

Great post! I’ve tried banking sleep before a big event, but it’s tricky. Just like in run 3, timing and strategy are key—sometimes pushing too hard leads to more pitfalls than gains!
