Don’t Let the Grind Culture Interfere with Your Sleep 💤
In a busy “every minute on the minute” culture from taking care of kids to long work weeks, we underestimate sleep 😴
Sleep is impacted drastically when you’re on a weight loss diet.
The longer a fat loss phase continues (year long dieting or chronic dieting), the worst the quality and quality of sleep will become.
Sleep is important for health, recovery from training, and fitness/everyday performance.
In fact, the growth hormone (a strong fat burner) is decreased during deep sleep, making it extremely important in the fat burning process.
A lack of recovery due to insufficient sleep results in possible loss of muscle.
Running long weight loss diets to the point where sleep is impacted begins to deflate the purpose of them.
This is a reminder to make sure you’re getting enough sleep (anywhere from 6–9 hours) so the hard work you’re putting in now doesn’t wash away.
