Did you get enough sleep last night?? I did not. And I sure feel it today! 😞
People who spend an average of 8.5 hours in bed each night tend to lose more fat and less muscle, compared to those who have 5.5 hours a night.
At the same time, a lack of sleep often contributes to poor decisions. For some people, this may mean that they don’t eat as healthily or that don’t exercise as much. Those patterns can also contribute to less muscle development or even muscle loss, especially if you end up not getting enough nutrients.
Not getting enough sleep also affects various hormones in your body. This includes cortisol, testosterone and human growth hormone, along with hunger-regulating hormones, like ghrelin and leptin.
So be sure to get enough sleep tonight, and every night! 😴💛✌
