Athletes/lifters: what temp are you running for recovery nights?
For the owners who train, sharing how I think about temp on hard days. Deep sleep is when most tissue repair and growth hormone release happens, and you get more of it when your core temp drops, so on heavy training nights I run a little cooler to protect that window.
No magic number, it interacts with your room and bedding, but cooler-than-usual on recovery nights has helped my soreness and morning readiness.
So what the athletes here do, do you adjust your set temp around training load, and have you noticed it in your recovery scores?
