Did you know that sleep can actually help you lose weight and gain muscle mass? When your body gets enough sleep, it partially suppresses the hormone ghrelin, which regulates your metabolism and appetite. However, when you're deprived of sleep, this hormone goes through the roof, taking your appetite with it.
Speaking of hormones, your body releases its largest amount of growth hormone while you're asleep, which is essential for repairing the damage you did to your muscle tissue while you were working out. If you're not getting enough sleep, your body won't be able to repair its muscles and it will take you longer to gain lean muscle mass.
Aim for between 7 and 9 hours of sleep a night. Your weight loss and muscle building goals will thank you.
This wasn't that good, I didn't like it. <3
