I'll get seven hours sleep a night, but after breakfast, I'll have an hour just resting, to recover. In Spain they all have siestas, even businessmen.
You always feel pretty good after a bye, after a couple of days off. Not having a game, you freshen up a little.
After three straight years of writing, though, I definitely needed a break to just go live my life.
Every coach in every sport, one of their larger concerns is the balance between work and rest. We all think about it all the time.
One of the strangest things that used to happen at half time was that you'd come in, and you would have to sit down and be quiet. Get your drink, your energy bars or whatever, and sit down.
Rest, rest, rest, rest, rest. Nutrition is obviously very important, but rest is equally important. At rest is when your body is trying to recover.
Every man who possibly can should force himself to a holiday of a full month in a year, whether he feels like taking it or not.
I love to take some holidays. In fact, I am a guy who wants to take a break for at least 10 days after each movie.
A player needs recovery time, and it isn't possible to recover from one race in an hour.
A break in the middle of the season is good for everybody.
Two weeks is about the ideal length of time to retire.
A good four to six weeks is about right for a proper break.
During the season, the teams play every third day. That's a huge workload with some long journeys. I think, in football, we need more time to rest and recover.
Well, sometimes you need the fields to lie fallow in order to gain nutrients.
Who am I, of course, to judge them, but the Premier League must urgently think about a rest period in a European Championship or World Cup year.
When the show's in production, we work for three weeks at a time and then take a week off.
I can't write at night. For me, I'm programmed to believe that nighttime is for relaxation.
I believe you need to take enough rest to lift heavy weights, but if it takes you 5-10 minutes to rest and get psyched up for a big lift, I don't know if that's going to be good.
In what other sport do you get a 15-second break every hour?
No cricket should be played for at least a month anywhere in the world after a World Cup.
Every summer is important. If you have a bad summer, it can have consequences for the whole season. If you don't get people to rest and to have a very good pre-season, you can start the season chasing.
While players say they like the five-day break, they're also saying they don't like the compression that goes along with it, and that's something that is of great concern to us as well.
I think a nap or a rest overnight is great. But who needs three days of rest? Please! The second day, you might die.
If the batsmen can give the bowlers a day and half of rest then that is going to work in the team's favour.
Even the soldiers need a break sometimes.
