30 Seconds SummaryTHE ‘GET SHREDDED SERIES’ PART 3 – SLEEP
- Sleep is crucial for effective fat loss and muscle maintenance, influencing recovery, metabolism, and hormonal balance.
- Consistently poor sleep can lower leptin (satiety hormone) levels and raise ghrelin (hunger hormone), leading to increased appetite and difficulty in maintaining a diet.
- Adequate sleep enhances metabolic rate and NEAT (Non Exercise Activity Thermogenesis), increasing daily energy burn and aiding in fat loss.
- Insufficient sleep can contribute to muscle loss in a calorie deficit, since muscle mass is partly preserved by restorative sleep.
- Practical tips for better sleep include maintaining regular sleep and wakeup times, optimizing sleep environment for deep sleep, and aiming for 7-9 hours of quality sleep nightly.
