An interesting article - thanks for the link.Originally Posted by JohnK
Training for sleep deprivation involves a lot more than just literally depriving yourself of sleep,it is more about sleep accumulation etc.
some reading for you :- https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5942705/
I do believe that I can and do train my sleep patterns along with my physical training and yes sleep monsters do exist
I was assuming that, like tapering, good sleeping habits was a given in ultra long events. So sleep accumulation before the event, napping before and during it, avoiding stimulants and screens and so on.
The point I was trying to make is that repeated extreme sleep deprivation does not, as far as I know, improve the ability to tolerate it.
