Sleep is the foundation on which the pillars of Exercise and Nutrition are built. Training hard and eating well whilst sleeping poorly is like having one foot on the accelerator and the other foot on the brake.
Sleeping better releases the brakes.
Poor sleep is defined as:
- 6 or less hours a night
- waking up 5+ times a night
- not being able to make it through your day without needing 3+ coffees
If you tick even 1 of those boxes you have poor sleep. Poor sleep leads to unwanted weight gain
