Improve Weight Loss Transformation with Deep Sleep
Not getting enough consistent deep sleep hurts your weight loss transformation efforts and it causes all kinds of problems like:
1. decreased energy,
2. constant cravings for sugary foods (for quick energy),
3. metabolism problems,
4. stress-out feelings and
5. decreased workout performance.
Too much sleep deprivation will lead to health problems for me---and you if we don't get the sleep we need to function properly!
According to Rehan Jalali:
"90% of growth hormone (GH) secretion occurs at night. The circadian rhythms help determine the regulation of hormone released in the body. GH levels need to be maximized during sleep to help rebuild muscle tissue and increase lean body mass. In resistance trained individuals, GH release was lower during the first half of sleep and higher in the second half, whereas it was opposite in non-training individuals. It’s very important to get deep sleep, according to one detailed study; because if you don’t, it could mean a major decline in GH output, which is bad news for muscle building. The same study showed that GH secretion was majorly associated with slow wave sleep and that when REM sleep declined, evening cortisol levels increased. Cortisol is a catabolic hormone that can break down muscle tissue."
Getting enough deep sleep lately? Being "too busy" all the time is not good....sometimes we use it as an excuse to not do the things we should---LIKE EXERCISE! If you aren't sleeping (resting) enough, you are hindering your health, fat loss and weight loss transformation goals.
When you wake up during the night because you can't sleep, you are likely to eat when you should be sleeping. And, you will throw your metabolism "out of wack."
Researchers have found that the less sleep the test subjects got, the higher their body fat. The shorter sleep time altered the subjects hormone levels, energy decreased and appetite increased. And we already knew that decreased energy affects your workout performance. What's enough sleep? The general rule is 7-9 hours of deep sleep a night. Some may need more sleep or a little less. Don't sabotage your exercise program and fat loss goals by not getting enough shut-eye.
Sleep (rest), recovery (from workouts), good nutrition and regular exercise work together to make you fit and healthy!
