Imagine the trainee every coach has met. They got four hours of sleep last night — a sick child, a long flight, a deadline, a bad week. The session on the spreadsheet says heavy squat. They walk into the gym anyway, because the culture says "no excuses." Mid-session, form breaks. Sometimes the back goes. Sometimes the session completes and the next four days of recovery don't.
The Sleep Emergency Field Guide is for that morning, that week, and the avoidance of compounding the problem across the next month.
