We often focus entirely on training and diet, yet we ignore the foundation that holds them together: sleep. During sleep, your body undergoes critical physiological recovery processes, including human growth hormone release and tissue repair.
Cognitive function, reaction time, and pain tolerance are all directly correlated with sleep duration. A single night of sleep deprivation can decrease strength output and speed up fatigue during your next session.
To optimize your sleep, create a strict bedtime routine. Limit blue light exposure from screens for at least one hour before bed, maintain a cool bedroom temperature (around 65°F/18°C), and avoid caffeine consumption after 2 PM.
Prioritizing 7 to 9 hours of quality sleep per night is more effective for performance and longevity than any supplement on the market.
