Hello Lovelies!! What a great day this has been! This week's topic deals with getting yourself somewhere and going to SLEEP! Lol! Anyway, sleep is VERY important when it comes to your health period, but let's take a subsection of your health and deal with fitness.
In order for your body to recover from your workout, run, fitness routine, etc you need sleep. Your body uses this time to repair itself. Your body is getting all of your cells, atoms, molecules, etc in order and in the correct alignment so that you can be prepared for the next day's events. On average, the amount of sleep that you should be getting each night is anywhere between 7 to 9 hours. I know many of you are saying "What? Only in a perfect world"! Many factors play a role in allowing you to get the proper amount of rest that you need. I have heard of people being able to function properly on 5 to 6 hours of sleep. Everyone's needs differ, but you should take into consideration the complexity of your bodily system and allow it to get at least 6 or 7 hours of sleep. This is mainly my own opinion. I can function quite well on 6 hours but anything over 7 hours, I still feel a little tired when I wake up. This is mainly due to the stage of the sleep cycle I am in when I awaken. Read more about the stages of the sleep cycle here and here.
In order to be your best at being productive you need to get some rest. You will see progress towards your fitness goals a little faster if you allow your body to Rest and Recover.
