Sleep Your Way to More Muscle

tips-lifestyle

Posted in All by Elite Supps


We constantly are on the lookout for effective and a new way to gain muscle. Trying out lastest supplements, training routine, diets, name it! Yes, all of these are keys to our dream bodies but most important that we all take for granted is SLEEP. Remember that none of the above mentioned can compensate rest other than sleep.

"Even if your training and nutrition program can straight for the mouth of God Almighty, without adequate rest your body will fail to adapt." - Professor Michael Colgan.

Think spending more time in the gym will help you achieve that dream body even sooner? Think again. Hitting the sack is the real secret to muscular size, strengthens a New Window., and efficient recovery. In fact, according to Nick Ebner, N.A.S.M.-C.P.T., P.I.C.P., “It just might be the most important element of your training.”

Is there an ideal amount of sleep per night?

“Yes. Most studies show somewhere between 7-9 hours per night as ideal.”

What happens during sleep that helps build muscle?

“As we sleep, energy consumption is lowered, allowing us to use the high-quality food we eat during the day to more efficiently build muscle. GH is naturally released, improving muscular recovery and regeneration. Also, as we sleep the brain recharges. This is important for building muscle because a rested brain is a motivated and focused brain. In simple terms, when you sleep, you recover, and when you recover you replace, repair, and rebuild—all of which are needed for optimal progress.”

I’ve been having trouble sleeping. What can I do to make sure I fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer?

“A great tip to fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer is to set up a sleep routine that occurs between 60-90 minutes before you go to bed. A sleep routine should consist of activities that relax and bring down the body. Try dimming the lights, shutting off electronics (including TV), closing your books, stretching, meditating, taking a hot shower or Epsom salt bath, writing in a journal, or any other things that are nonelectronic and not physically taxing. You don’t have to have the same routine every night, but try to make it occur in the same hours. Going to bed at a consistent time each night has shown to increase sleep quality as well.”

Why do I wake up in the middle of the night all the time? What makes this happen?

“Many things can cause this: nonregulated blood sugar, drinking too much liquid too close to bed, eating too close to bed, training too close to bed, not eating enough during the day, detoxification issues, hormonal imbalances, etc. Because the reasons we may wake up during the night vary, try making food your first variable toward getting your sleep in check. I suggest eating frequently throughout the day, eating enough calories each day, eating quality whole foods, and eating the right balance of protein to carbs to fat, which for each person is different. If this seems difficult to you, find a qualified health or nutrition coach to help you implement these strategies.”
