Recovery: The Power of Sleep

You can train perfectly and eat clean, but if your sleep sucks, your results will stall.

Why Sleep is a Performance Enhancer:

  • Increases growth hormone release (muscle recovery + fat loss)

  • Resets your nervous system (so you can train harder tomorrow)

  • Improves mental focus, willpower, and decision-making

  • Reduces inflammation and speeds up tissue repair

Simple Sleep Upgrades:

  • Same bedtime/wake time every day (even weekends)

  • Dark, cool room (aim for 17.5–19°C)

  • No screens 60 minutes before bed (blue light blocks melatonin release)

  • Magnesium glycinate supplementation (helps relaxation)

🚫 Common Sleep Killers:

  • 🚫 Scrolling your phone in bed

  • 🚫 Training late at night and spiking cortisol

  • 🚫 High caffeine intake after 2PM
