😴 **ZERO TO TRIATHLON… OR ZERO TO SLEEP?** 😂

Well, this wasn’t quite the training session I had planned! 🤣

Apparently, running, cycling and swimming aren’t enough for my body… it’s decided to start doing interval training while I’m asleep too! 🏊‍♂️🚴‍♂️🏃‍♂️💤

For a while now, I’ve been struggling with **sleep jerks** — those sudden involuntary movements that make you feel like you’re falling off a cliff just as you’re drifting off.

Except my body seems to think it’s competing in the Olympic Games every night! 🥇😂

So, for the next **TWO NIGHTS**, I’m hooked up to a home polysomnography kit to try and work out what’s going on.

And judging by the photo, I’ve gone from aspiring triathlete to a budget science experiment! 🧪⚡

I’m currently sporting more wires than my Zwift setup, and I’m fairly sure NASA could pick up a signal from my forehead. 📡🤣

On a more serious note, sleep and recovery are massive parts of endurance training. There’s not much point putting in the hard work if your body isn’t getting the rest it needs.

Hopefully, these two nights will help provide some answers.

**The goal for tonight?**

🏅 Don’t rip the wires off.

🏅 Don’t launch myself out of bed.

🏅 Actually get some sleep.

🏅 Wake up looking slightly less like I’ve been plugged into the National Grid. ⚡😂

💬 **Anyone else suffer from sleep jerks or had a sleep study?** Please tell me I’m not the only one turning bedtime into a full-contact sport! 🤣👇

Follow my **Zero to Triathlon** journey — apparently, even sleeping is an endurance event! 💪
