70
Tips to improve sleep:
- go to bed at a reasonable time every night
- turn off your electronics
- avoid caffeine consumption too close to bed time
- sleep in a cool, dark, quiet, comfortable environment (cave)
- naps can help if sleep deprived, keep it short and far from sleep time as possible
71
Discuss effects of cold water immersion:
