Hit the hay

You might be dieting hard and sweating endlessly in the gym but still not be seeing gains and the time you go to sleep or the amount of sleep you get might be effecting this. When you train your body needs rest to grow and repair and when you sleep this is multiplied even more as your body releases hormones to repair those muscles that have been worked. The best results are seen for 7-8 hours worth of sleep with a minimum of 6 being what you need. Also hitting the hay before midnight will double the amount of hormones released making your recovery time and gains happen quicker too. So for those of you that feel your doing everything right but your still struggling then have a think about what time you go to sleep and how many hours your getting and how this could be effecting your true potential in and out of the gym.
