Let’s Talk Sleep Quality 💤
Most people focus on how many hours they sleep… but your sleep quality matters just as much as the quantity.
Here are three key pieces to understand:
😴Sleep Efficiency:
This is the percentage of time you’re actually asleep compared to the time you spend in bed.
Higher efficiency = better recovery. Aim for 85% or higher.
😴Sleep Latency:
This is how long it takes you to fall asleep.
Taking under 20 minutes is considered healthy. Longer times may mean stress, caffeine, or training late is interfering with your recovery.
😴Why It Matters for Recovery:
During deep and REM sleep, your body releases growth hormone, repairs muscles, restores glycogen, and strengthens your nervous system.
If you’re not getting high-quality sleep, your strength, endurance, coordination, and even mood take a hit.
Bottom line:
Want faster times in Metcons?
Want stronger lifts?
Want faster recovery?
Dial in your sleep—not just the hours, but the quality.
Your training happens in the gym…
Your progress happens when you sleep. 😴💪
