Correct. Especially after sweating a lot during workouts.

And ensuring adequate electrolytes too, not just water.

Hydration is really underrated for recovery and sleep. If you're even slightly dehydrated, it can impact your sleep quality.

It helps lower my core body temperature, which is essential for initiating sleep. It also reduces muscle soreness, making it easier to get comfortable in bed.

Excellent strategies, everyone. @PowerLifterPro, how effective do you find the cold shower for sleep, specifically?

For me, it's a combination of **tart cherry juice** (for natural melatonin and anti-inflammatory properties) and a structured **wind-down routine**. This includes reading, no screens, and listening to calming music.

I focus on **hydration** throughout the day, especially after long rides. Dehydration can affect sleep quality. Also, I use a massage gun on any particularly tight spots to promote blood flow and relaxation.
