My Bedtime Routine: Paralympian Jessica Long on Why She’s a ‘Bit of a Diva’ at Bedtime:
Jessica Long—the second-most decorated Paralympian in United States history—has a talent for being immediately relatable. Whether she’s doing TikTok challenges or joking about the people who call her “inspiring,” Long exudes the warmth of your favorite workout class instructor who just so happens to be a record-setting swimmer and has trained alongside Michael Phelps.
Given the magnitude of those accomplishments, Long granted herself a training reprieve when she married her boyfriend of four years, Lucas Winters, in October 2019. Long gushes about how excited she is to have her husband’s support during this chapter of her career, “but I didn’t want swimming to take over,” she says. “My first priority was the wedding.”
Long was just finding her groove when the Paralympic Games were postponed in March 2020. “I had to grieve,” she recalls. “I painted our entire condo. But I remember thinking, I have a choice to lose all this endurance that I just built up in the past three months. I was still struggling, but I felt like I could either press on or let the negativity be toxic and heavy.”. “I was running around the couch. I went outside a lot,” she says.
schedule, her favorite products, and how she’ll handle sleeping during the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic games.I’ll complain, like, “I’m freezing, or my shoulders hurt.” And I have to lie a certain way, but I sleep really well. I really love to sleep. I think that’s an amputee thing because I’m exhausted throughout the day. My legs hurt a lot during the day, and I only have a certain amount of energy to give.
