Elsewhere I think I learned from you: “Don’t go to bed depleted” and that I took to mean to make sure you’ve taken in sufficient (1) calories and (2) protein.

Sufficient protein especially important for athletes over 40.

Earlier in my journey I was going to bed depleted and would have restless sleep/ vivid dreams and wake up the next morning more sore than expected. Those went away with better nutrition.

Dan,

That's a good way to play it.

I've also found that sleep quality, and recovery overall, is a useful indicator of how well things are going.

My sleep will tend to get out of whack as an early warning system of excessive stress.
