Breathtaking Buteyko Derby

Turns out, yes—and it matters more than you think.

Research shows that heading to bed between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. aligns with your body's natural sleep architecture. Why? Because deep, restorative sleep happens mostly in the first half of the night.

If you regularly fall asleep after 2 a.m., you could be skipping the most powerful part of your sleep cycle—even if you’re getting enough hours in bed. 😴

➡️ Deep sleep is when your body heals, your brain resets, and your energy gets a proper recharge.
➡️ Miss it, and you're more likely to wake up groggy, drained, and unrested.

The kicker? This cycle runs on its own schedule, regardless of when you go to bed. So pushing bedtime later means missing out—not shifting the cycle.

💓 And it's not just about feeling good: better sleep timing also supports your heart health.

So if you're tempted to burn the midnight oil tonight… maybe rethink it. Your future self will thank you.

Feeling constantly tired? You might be carrying sleep debt.

Sleep debt builds up when you consistently get less rest than your body needs—leading to fatigue, brain fog, and long-term health issues. Here’s how to pay it off and sleep better:

🛏️Prioritize Sleep: Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night.
⏰Consistent Schedule: Go to bed and wake up at the same time daily.
😴Limit Naps: Short naps can help, but avoid long or late-day naps.
🌙Create a Sleep-Friendly Environment: Keep your bedroom dark, quiet, and cool.
☕Avoid Stimulants: Reduce caffeine and screen time before bed.

Start today and add MyoTape to your nightly routine for better nasal breathing, deeper sleep, and waking up feeling truly refreshed.

Why Slowing Down Could Be the Key to Running Faster - Here’s why:

✅ Efficient Oxygen Use
Nasal breathing helps your body use oxygen more effectively. Breathing less (and through your nose) means your muscles get the oxygen they need without wasting energy on over-breathing.

✅ Lower Heart Rate
When you slow down and breathe nasally, your heart works smarter, not harder. This keeps you in fat-burning zones for longer and helps you avoid burnout.

✅ Gradual Adaptation
Nasal breathing takes time to master, and slowing down allows your body to adjust. Over time, your pace picks up naturally - without needing to revert to mouth breathing.

✅ Mental Resilience
Slowing down isn’t just physical - it’s mental. It teaches patience, mindfulness, and an appreciation for long-term progress over quick wins.

By slowing down to focus on nasal breathing, you're actually training your body to become a more efficient, resilient, and powerful runner. It might feel strange at first, but in the long run (literally), you’ll thank yourself – and so will your race times!

Try to take some time each day to find a comfortable position, close your eyes and focus on your breathing for a few minutes. It will help you disconnect, recharge and rebalance.
We must start building good habits in our lives, taking even just 10 minutes out of our busy days to ‘switch off’ is extremely important to our physical, mental and emotional health.
It helps to listen to meditative type music whilst you do so.

Give it a try…
