I want to let you all know something.
No one talks about the most foundational, basic, boring stuff for your health and performance because it's just not marketable.
I said what I said.
But here's the thing: one of the most underrated, impactful nootropics and performance enhancers out there is sleep.
And the great thing about it is it's free and accessible to all of us.
And yet, even with it being so beneficial to our health, performance, and body composition, a large chunk of our society is incredibly under-rested.
This a huge problem that not only concerns your performance in training, but your actual life!
Studies have shown that if you are getting less than the recommended amount of sleep (which is 7-9 hours each night for most adults), you’re putting yourself at great risk for chronic illness, heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes.
On top of that, it drains your IQ and cognitive function, and kills your libido.
If you are one of the roughly 1 in 3 Americans who gets less than 6.5 hours of sleep a night, don’t stress (stressing out about things doesn’t help with getting good sleep anyway).
The positive news to all of this is just like so many things when it comes to our health, it can be reversed.
So just like having inadequate sleep is bad for you, returning to adequate sleep can reduce these risks and put you back online with your health and performance.
In today’s episode we talk about why sleep is important, and how you can make your sleep quality the best possible in order to perform your best in the gym and, of course, live a better life outside of it.
Here’s a brief overview of the episode:
[2:28] Health statistics on sleep and a good chunk of our society is not sleeping enough for their health, performance, or body composition
[8:05] Sleep’s effects on our hormones
[10:47] The health risks and impacts of not getting enough sleep
[15:47] How to create a sleep routine to maximize your sleep quality
[19:17] What to eat (and what to avoid) to get a good night’s rest
[24:30] Why staying up past midnight can mess you up
[27:12] How to optimize your bedroom for deep sleep
[33:24] Waking up to light and its role in having a more overall balanced sleep cycle
