Sleep
Rotating Shift Recovery Week
A rotating shift recovery week deloads training, protects anchor sleep, and repays debt after brutal rotation legs—not a business-as-usual load week.
A rotating shift recovery week lowers training intensity, protects anchor sleep, and repays debt after a hard rotation leg—not a normal progressive overload week. Swap HIIT for walks, keep protein steady, and delay PR attempts until HRV and sleep duration normalize.
Managers and athletes both benefit from planned deloads tied to roster exports.
Common questions
-
How do you know you need a recovery week?
Stacked short sleeps, rising RPE at usual loads, irritability, and falling HRV for several days are signals. Plan the deload before illness forces it.
