   This is pretty timely. I’ve been putting a lot of thought into improving my sleep schedule. Lately I’ve been using low doses of Melatonin to help reset my internal clock and get me on an early to bed/early to rise schedule. Left to my own devices I train in the middle of the night and sleep in late. Not the most practical way of living… I don’t take Melatonin regularly, but it’s interesting to note, the couple few times I’ve taken it, the following morning my HRV has spiked to a level I don’t normally reach.

   There was a great article on iRunFar recently talking about the importance of quality sleep for athletes:
