You can have the perfect workout plan and the perfect diet β and still not see results if you're not sleeping. π΄
Here's why sleep is non-negotiable for fitness:
β’ Growth hormone is released during deep sleep β this is when your muscles actually repair and grow
β’ Poor sleep increases cortisol, which breaks down muscle tissue
β’ Sleep deprivation reduces strength, endurance, and reaction time
β’ 7-9 hours is the target for active adults
Prioritize your sleep like you prioritize your workouts. It's not a luxury β it's training.
