1
If you were to rank out of the three, sleep, exercise, nutrition, which one is the one you have to really make sure you don't stuff it up?
2
Sleep. By far. By far.
3
There's still so much research to be done on why we actually need to sleep.
4
There's lots of research that's done that shows what happens during sleep
5
and how it is important for total body reparation and metabolic control
6
and body comp and cognition and reducing inflammation and all of the things that promote our public burden diseases.
7
I always kind of step back
8
because I used to be one of these people I would compromise sleep so I could get in a training session, especially when I was racing high level.
9
I was like working, I have to work late, but then I have to get up to get my training in.
10
And I was always a little bit sleep deprived.
11
My training wasn't going where I wanted.
12
The races weren't going where I wanted.
13
I was suffering in work.
14
And I was like, oh, wait a second, it's sleep.
15
So then I started prioritizing sleep and putting parameters around how I'm sleeping, when I'm sleeping, and really getting good sleep hygiene in.
16
And then everything else improved because we can't show up for other people
17
if we're chronically sleep-deprived and inflamed and just not cognitively there from poor sleep.

シャドーイングとは?英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング(Shadowing)は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的:ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影(shadow)」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
