Soooooo… going to the gym while most people are asleep has caused some concern 😂 So I thought I’d answer some of the comments about my routine. Is it conventional? Absolutely not. Does it work for everyone? Probably not. But I get 8.5+ hours of sleep, my health has improved massively, I have a life outside the gym and, most importantly, I genuinely enjoy the routine I’ve built.

Most healthy adults need around 7–9 hours of sleep. • National Sleep Foundation, Sleep duration recommendations. 7–9 hours is the recommended range for young adults and adults. • Sena-Ribeiros & Reis (2025), Biphasic sleep and human health: A theoretical paradigm for personalized sleep, Sleep Medicine.
