If I have a poor sleep the night before a training day, would it be best to perform a tier 1 MR day instead of a planned loading day to decrease the CNS stress of that session? Or are they about equal in that regards? Or in that situation would it be best to take the day off of training entirely and train the following day?
Obviously addressing the sleep is paramount and I'm working on it!
The notion is to "auto" regulate. That means only you can answer it.
I'd seek out a way to improve your sleep, perhaps by setting aside more time to sleep or using a sleep aid.
Lastly, I think you're probably overthinking this. I can't think of any bodybuilder who was determined overall who would bat an eye at what to do when / if he has was just an hour shy of a full nights sleep.
If you were at the emergency room and got 2 hr of crappy sleep, then taking the day off would definitely be a reasonable solution, or perhaps if you chronically only get 4hr sleep and on one particular day you are just totally beat it would make sense to drop down a Tier.
I'm not you and perhaps that one hour of missed sleep is entirely disruptive, my perspective, as someone who's gone years training in the middle of the night or at 4AM, which chronically sleep deprived, b/c it was this or nothing is that an hour of missed sleep here and there is just a common inconvenience of life and can easily be made up the next night or even with a nap later that day if one's crafty about it.
