    I usually find that I cat-nap if I can throughout the day, even in the office. I usually get into work really early and have a rest for about half an hour or so and I also usually fit in half an hour over my lunch break. I get about 7 hours sleep as well through the night. I find this does help with recovery and also helps to keep me more alert during the day.

    Am I the only one or are there others? I just want to make sure that I'm not that weird !!!

    I will sometimes have a nap.... However it keeps me up at night so I try and stay awake.

    Actually that nap is actually very good for you. There has been research to support the process that training, then eating and then sleeping even for a short time helps boost recovery significantly. Some sports trainers recommend napping after every workout, even for a 45 minute catnap.

    Most of us don't have the time though
    Today I can do what others will not so that tomorrow I will do what others cannot.

    The difference between winners and losers is that winners do things that losers don't want to do.
