Wendy: “Actually, I’m up for a power nap anywhere. It’s a chance to relax briefly and regenerate every now and then. What more could you want? My favourite way to do it is to take a ‘little time out’ after lunch. Especially after a hard morning, it allows me to recharge my batteries for the afternoon. I prefer to nap in bed and usually for about 30 minutes, but sometimes I might not wake up for 45 to 60 minutes.”
Wendy: “It depends, because I’m not always relaxed to the same extent afterwards. But on a race day, I certainly can’t schedule an ‘ordinary’ power nap, because the day is usually quite long, and the programme is different from a training day. But in return I try to go to bed early on race days.”
Wendy: “Get rid of your mobile phone, then think about something nice and relaxing! If the wrong sort of thoughts are running through your head, it takes a lot longer to fall asleep.”
Wendy: “Yes, of course, I’m not a machine. Sometimes I even find myself thinking about the perfect run during a power nap. If I’ve had a good day, I usually fall asleep faster.”
Wendy: “It happens, but most of the time I have enough other things to dream about. Although in the dropping-off phase, my thoughts are often still ‘on the piste’.”
Wendy: “I found it enriching and exciting to discover that you can gain so much insight into the choice of the perfect sleep system from a back and lying analysis. Now I know that according to the latest science and research, I have the most suitable sleep system for me. Scientific analysis is standard when planning my fitness training – and now I’m probably one of the first female ski racers to rely on science for my sleep too!”
