Avoiding ‘bad days’ ( h e a v y legs)

[noamporat]

Hello,
I am trying to analyze what are the specific (ranked) causes for a ‘bad day’ (heavy legs);

Night sleep wise, I know that 8 hours are recommended before a (early) morning ride - I have no Idea how that can be done (i.e. if one has to be up at 4:30 am, one should be asleep at 8:30 pm..) I guess sleeping pills are not to be considered as they might give an unnatural ‘sleepy’ feeling in the morning;

Have a great day!
