Finding your SLEEP Number!!
About 20 years ago, researchers found that sleep regulates brain function and body temperatureand restores the immune system.
The latest figures from the National Sleep foundation show that the average adult in North America gets 6 hours and 57 minutes of sleep per night during the work week, and 7 hours and 31 minutes on weekends. This is not enough sleep according to the organization, which recommends to get 8 hours of sleep per night.
What happens when you dont sleep enough? Lack of sleep for a few nights increase braon levels of cortisol, a potentially dangerous stress harmone. High cortisol levels weekend your immune system and contribute to a number of problems- depression, irritability, low energy, muscle loss, and fat storage.
Get 10 hours of sleep if you arw a teenager, 9 hours if your an adult.
When possible, take a 15min nap in the middle of the afternoon.
Now, combine that extra sleep with a 9 day break from training every 6 months, and your recovery ability will finally be strong enough to allow your body to grow.
