I used to get around 8 hours of sleep before I got into triathlons and always thought I was tired... now that's completely changed-I usually spend about an hour a day biking/running and for sleep I get almost 6, more like 5 and a half hours of sleep a day. Is this normal? I think I'm starting to get sick and have a sort of "chronic tiredness" throughout the day haha.

I try to get at least 6 hrs, might get less if I work OT. I don't know if there is a "norm" for sleep time, it varies by the individual IMO. I could be wrong though, I've read that 8 hrs is better.

I went to sleep at 5:00 pm yesterday, woke up at 6:00 am today for a personal record of 13 hours. Feeling pretty surreal right now. I catch up on sleep in the weekends.
