        "text": "Chasing eight hours is a reasonable starting point, but duration alone is a poor proxy for restorative sleep. Someone sleeping eight hours with frequent micro-arousals, elevated resting heart rate, or poor sleep architecture may be getting less physiological benefit than someone sleeping six and a half hours of deep, uninterrupted sleep."

        "@type": "Answer",
        "text": "The athletes who absorb training most efficiently treat sleep with the same intentionality they bring to session structure. That means consistent sleep and wake times, even on rest days, because circadian rhythm stability affects sleep architecture more than most people realise."

        "text": "Treat fuelling as part of your preparation, not an afterthought. The science only helps when it is applied consistently: plan around your training and competition, fuel before you feel you need to, and review what works for you over time. Science in Sport products are designed to make evidence-based fuelling simple to get right, so you arrive prepared and perform with confidence."
