The Importance of Sleep

You rest when you grow.

If you're compromising your sleep you're compromising your gym efforts - whether you realize it or not.

Bodybuilders need at LEAST 8 hours of sleep per night with 10 hours being optimal.

Personally, I love my sleep. I never have any problem getting enough.

However, this past Friday I worked as a bouncer and was up until 3:30am (late for me).

I'm STILL trying to recover.

Ugh.

I'm a big fan of sleep myself. I often get 8-10 hours of sleep. I'm in bed around 9:00 pm most nights. However, during pre-contest I sleep less and less... I think it's because my metabolism is so high.
