Are you sleeping well? I'm not asking if you're going to bed on time; I'm asking about the quality and duration of your sleep. This is the time your body needs to 'rehab and recover' from the day...where your body reduces its cortisol levels, repairs muscle, and decreases systemic inflammation. Very important stuff!
Follow these simple rules to get the most from your nighttime ZZZs.
1 - Stop eating at least two hours before bed.
2 - Be "boring" (don't do things that stress you).
3 - Sleep in a completely dark room.
4 - Keep the room temperature slightly cool.
5 - Take a warm (not hot) bath/shower about 30 minutes before bed.
Our friends at YourLocalSecurity.com emailed us this infographic about sleep deprivation. Take a peek and start to understand what not getting enough quality sleep can do to your body. Don't let all your hard work in the gym go to waste - smart recovery is equally as important as your workouts.
