I've read everything on here about sleep, I was jw if it seriously affects my muscle growth if I am consistently only getting 6.5-7 hours of sleep a night (I cant sleep any longer, even with earplugs)

[allstar5461]

it affects your metabolism when not getting enough sleep

[Lulence]

i have trouble putting on mass as it is

[allstar5461]

you cant ever get 8 hours, have you tried meditating, when is your last meal before bedtime, what time do you workout?

[Lulence]

workout right around 5pm or so every day, i dont meditate lol, and i eat pretty much right before i go to sleep

[ZackKnight]

Try eating about 1 hour before you go to bed. That will help.

if you can't sleep any longer than don't force yourself too. unless you have a sleeping problem. if aint broke it aint gotta be fixed. you dig? lmao

[Justin1285]

Have you thought about having a sleep study?

[Shwitt88]

really, IMO, 6.5 -7 isnt THE WORST THING EVER. its true that studies show that you should usually get 8 hours of sleep, but youre really not that far off and if thats all you can sleep, then no big deal unless you feel shitty and tired all day.
your gains could be because of your bodytype, or diet, or some other factor.

i think i remember kaboom sayin that he only gets like 4 hours of sleep and that guy seems to be pretty massive.

Sleep!!!what the hell is that?Ill get plenty of that when they close my coffin!!

[Kaboom]

Oh and thanks for the compliment shwitt

However, he himself mentioned that he would probably be alot bigger if he got more sleep. Remember, some people succeed not because of what they do, but because of their genetics. Some people can look at weights and grow. Some people could have great nutrition and sleep and workout like crazy and barely gain. Its all in the genes.


Id say sleep is very important for your body, and id suggest trying to have a little nap sometime in the day.



Do you ever feel lethargic or really sore after workouts?

[Shwitt88]

youre welcome kaboom

and i definitly agree with you frosty, sleep is extremely important. naps are great too, i take one almost every day. i guess the main thing, with the amount of knowledge i have, that i was getting at is if he is tired during the day due to the amount of sleep that he gets, like we both asked.

[Kaboom]

i think in his case it isnt that bad 7 hrs a night is pretty good.my case yeah i def need more sleep i dont sleep just 4 hrs by choice.i will try to get a nap in here and there if possible but i try not too while im driving lol
