Sleep time is perhaps the most important period of our 24-hour daily cycle.   Sleep is one of the best natural tools for recovery.  While we sleep, over half of our natural daily GH secretion occurs, glycogen stores are replenished and tissues are repaired.  In short, the damage we do during the day is healed while we sleep.  Plus, if we are given the proper biochemical environment, our bodies will readily burn fat for fuel while we sleep!

During the waking hours, all of the activities that we do in our daily lives to achieve our goals ? weight training, cardio, diet, taking stimulant-based fat burners and energy supplements, all begin to blunt fat loss and recovery as time wears on.  Our bodies are simply not designed to stay wired 24 / 7.  If we don?t get sufficient sleep:

• Recovery is blunted
• Fat accumulates more readily
• GH release is suppressed
• Lean tissue loss can occur (catabolism) more    easily
• Cortisol levels rise, thereby increasing fat storage and catabolism
