You can have the perfect training program, the best nutrition plan, and every supplement on the market ā but if you're sleeping 5 hours a night, you're leaving results on the table.
Sleep is when your body repairs muscle tissue, consolidates motor learning, regulates hormones (including testosterone and growth hormone), and clears metabolic waste from your brain.
Sleep-deprived athletes show decreased power output, slower reaction times, increased injury risk, and impaired glucose metabolism.
At A1 Training, we ask every client about their sleep before we touch their training program. It's that important.
