CrossFit and CNS Fatigue

[oneworld]

@catherineone Make sleep your priority. Most people need 7+ hours minimum. I’d shoot for 8.

 

[catherineone]

@oneworld Thank you. Self Acknowledged that this week and several days into working to improve my sleep hygiene and bedtime.

 

[caleb_m]

@oneworld This is categorically false.

EDIT: Here is a detailed refutation of the most prominent sleep authors on the market. Follow the sources to find that there is no evidence supporting the need for 7-9. It’s a noble lie.

 

[maggiebode]

@caleb_m That sure is a questionable source for someone who sounds so confident of their position…

 

[caleb_m]

@maggiebode Did you check the sources? Guzey is a pretty well known skeptic in the area and lists all his sources which Walker doesn’t. Check those sources, the primary research and meta analysis, and you’ll see the data doesn’t support the narrative.

@caleb_m From a sleep medicine specialist from Mayo:

https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-...w-many-hours-of-sleep-are-enough/faq-20057898

I’ll take my source over yours.

 

[caleb_m]

@oneworld A single doctor over a systematic review of 65 studies? Interesting choice…

 

[oneworld]

@caleb_m An article that refutes that lack of sleep causes cancer doesn’t really prove that we don’t need 7+ hours of sleep.

 

[caleb_m]

@oneworld I mean we can play this game. What is the reason we all need 7+ hours? The argument initially spurred from issues like cancer risk…but what’s the reason you’re thinking of.

 

[oneworld]

@caleb_m It prevents all kind of negative health affects.

@oneworld If you’re citing this, I’m going to assume you know what the RAND Appropriateness Method is actually used for and how this was a misapplication, right? In case you don’t, here’s something of note.

This is from the manual for the method:

The appropriateness method has been criticised on the grounds that the results obtained may well vary depending on the composition of the panel of experts selected, that is, the process may lack reliability.

And

They also further underline the fact that appropriateness criteria, by themselves, cannot be considered as a "gold standard" for practice decisions

So we have a method that was designed to look at surgical intervention appropriateness being applied to sleep duration while knowingly stating it’s unreliable.

 

[caleb_m]

@oneworld Also from the manual:

These results support the recommendation that expert panels should include participation from a variety of relevant disciplines.

You want to take a guess on if the panel in your paper come from a variety of disciplines?

 

[oneworld]

@caleb_m So what other disciplines should’ve been on the panel? People that don’t study sleep? Some random dude that decided to sleep 4 hours a night and wrote a theory that because he felt he could function correctly doing that then it means everyone should?

 

[caleb_m]

@oneworld Scientists who study other aspects of physiology or disease.

Curious: what’s you’re field of work?

 

[caleb_m]

@oneworld Should we start with the fact that we’ve actually been sleeping more recently than we have in the last 50 years?

 

[marijuanastr]

@catherineone Keep your routine, but scale down your intensity some days.

 

[chantelle1989g]

@catherineone Sleep more, and try some more carbs.

@catherineone Box owner here so I am at my gym all day 5 days a week. Saturday mornings, and will tend to go in for an activity on Sundays. I typically take rest days once every few weeks because I’m busy. The biggest thing I’ve noticed is that too many days with weight in a workout does me in REALLY quick. So about 60-70% of my training is cardio. I only touch a barbell 3 days a week. For me I love working out and being active and I found that if a majority of my training was low impact training I could maintain a high volume over a long period of time. There’s plenty of work that your body can handle without as much risk for over use.

 

[yashab7848]

@catherineone Sounds like you need more sleep to me. Probably 8-9 hours especially since you're working yourself so hard.

 

[dyegunswin]

@catherineone Eat a lot more than what you’re eating, try to hit your protein goals everyday and get 8 hours of sleep. Do that first.
