Are you getting the sleep your body needs to perform?
Let me ask you something that most masters rowers won't admit out loud:
Are you sleeping as well as you used to? Or have you noticed that sleep just isn't what it once was-waking up at 3am, struggling to fall back asleep, or feeling tired even after a full night in bed?
Here's what I've learned: It's not just age. It's not inevitable. It's that your body's sleep needs and patterns are changing-and understanding this is the key to better rest and recovery.
The good news? This is completely manageable when you know what's actually happening.
Dr Tracy Davenport is a sleep specialist with extensive experience working with athletes. She understands the unique sleep challenges facing masters athletes and brings evidence-based strategies that address both the science and the reality of sleep as we age.
