You Will Not Gain Muscle if You Don't Sleep Enough

By Ricardo d Argence

Going to to the gym, you will think you can get relaxed and muscles will grow by themselves. Working your muscles through weight training is not the only factor, neither is physically working out.

Among the most neglected factors involved is the necessity of appropriate amounts of rest, not only between workouts, but really getting a proper night's sleep to end your day. By adjusting your sleep time table so that you get a regular night of good sleep nightly can lead to big transformations in the outcome you get from your bodybuilding plan.

There are actually several reasons why sleep is so important to be successful at bodybuilding. For starters, your body recovers and rebuilds muscle while you are asleep. This is the crucial time when other parts of your body are shut down and not consuming energy or internal resources that your body uses to repair damages from bodybuilding.

You must rest or your body won't be able to heal and add new muscle. You will be adversely impacting your gains by not providing enough time for your muscles to heal, recover, and continue to grow in the proper manner.

Another reason that sleep is so important for bodybuilding is that a lack of sleep can cause you to have a lack of focus and a lack of physical energy. A lack of mental focus can destroy your results while you're in the gym. You can have the best intentions in the world, but if you get in the gym and you can't visualize the exercises you are going to do and you can't focus on moving from one to the next, you aren't going to get a great workout.

Although you might not have the energy or be motivated enough to have a great weightlifting session. There's only so much your body can handle over the course of a day with a tiny amount of sleep. With everything else going on in your life, its working out that often takes a backseat.

Sleep is critical because it allows your body to recover and control the rhythm of your body's hormones. Hormones, that are essential for proper metabolism and muscle gain, are released during sleep. Hormones, released during sleep, are essential for proper metabolism and muscle gain. At the same time, sleep also inhibits other hormones that can lead to fat gain and other unseemly consequences.

That means that sleeping for 2 hours on friday night and then sleeping for 12 hours on saturday night doesn't amount to the same benefits as sleeping 7 hours both nights in a row of no matter what you want to maintain a consistent sleep schedule. And that's what you should shoot for, at least 7 hours a night. You must sleep if you want to succeed at bodybuilding under any circumstance. - 17269
