Wow, man, that is awesome!! :bravo: Congratulations on taking your first fight as a pro! Dude, this is huge. I am really, really excited for you.

You're doing everything right -- preparing for that match is exactly where your focus should be. Let your body get loads of deep sleep. If you're exhausted, your body will naturally gravitate toward the type of sleep that you need the most. During this time, it probably goes without saying that any middle-of-the-night alarms should be discarded. You'll want to be as fresh and well-rested as possible when you step into the cage. (Ring?)

Really awesome, man. When I was watching the first UFCs as a kid I totally wanted to fight MMA! (I guess they called it "no holds barred" back then.) Then I realized that I didn't very much like the idea of being punched, so that was right out the window. But you're living one of my childhood fantasy jobs! Next you have to be a firefighter or a ninja to do the rest of em.

That's interesting. Just one theory to throw out there is that if you go to bed very tired but then get plenty of sleep, you may be getting a load of deep sleep, then REM rebound in the morning.

Best of luck with the dreaming and the punching / choking / submitting of your opponent this weekend! Hey... it's not Carlos Condit again is it?
