    Are there optimal times for getting the main body of sleep,as in if I sleep between midnight and 7 am is this better than say 4 am and 11 am?And if so is there much of a difference?
    And if so what is the worst sleep cycle to have?

    It's important to try and sleep at the same time every day. Or at least have 4 hours of anchor sleep. So if normally sleep 11pm to 7am and something changes then try to have at least 4 hours overlap with that time frame.

    .

    This is interesting, I'll give you my opinion from reading the likes of Alan Aragon and maybe you can tell me if I'm on the right track with my opinion.

    1. Who you are? Gaelic footballer
    2. What you are doing? Tuesday night Gaelic football training session, 1hr 30mins.
    Includes 15 minute warm up, 15 minutes of speed and agility drills, almost an hour of ball drills and conditioned games
    3. What you've done previously? Played game on Saturday, trained previous Friday, training again Friday and match Saturday. 3 weight training sessions, Monday, Wednesday, Sunday 45 minutes each with Sundays involving a lot of mobility and flexibility, more of a recovery session.
    4. How old are you? Can I use three example if there is a difference 20 , 26, 33
    5. What sex are you? Male
    6. What are you doing it for? Training to improve performance, nutrition to help ensure full recovery.

    My opinion would be that the most important thing is that players meet their calorie needs with an adequate balance of protein, carbs and fat.

    There are benefits to eating after training and while I wouldn't tell some not to, they should prioritise meeting there daily needs and if they are not meeting those then recovery is going to be hampered even if they eat soon after training.

    The 15-30 minute window is more of way of getting people more compliant when it comes to ensuring they eat enough, it's amazing how diligent people are to post workout nutrient when they think their muscles might disappear. But in reality it just helps to ensure that you get nutrition in quickly after a session before you forget about it or life gets in the way. For example a footballer travelling back to Dublin from Roscommon on a Tuesday night might not be bothered eating until the morning, not ideal if he intends having a weights session on the Wednesday and this becomes a regular routine.
