Using the foam roller and regular stretching helps me a lot. I just never take the time to do this... trying to be better.
I've heard to wear them twice as long as your workout was. For me I feel like I want to keep them on for the rest of the day and, if the workout was really tough or I need to get up and ride the next day, I'll wear them to bed. My legs usually feel fresher the next day. Not completely fresh, but much more recovered. I just read that all the women on the Reve tour (women who rode the TdF this year) wore compression to bed every night. That and a good recovery drink seemed to pull them through.
