The Role of Sleep in Weight Loss and Fitness

As a busy executive, time is a precious commodity. But did you know that getting enough sleep can actually improve your weight loss and fitness efforts? Here are some key points to consider:

1. Lack of sleep can negatively impact hormones related to appetite and metabolism, leading to overeating and weight gain.

2. Poor sleep quality can also increase inflammation in the body, which can hinder recovery from workouts and make it harder to build muscle.

3. Aim for at least 7-8 hours of sleep per night to help regulate these hormones and promote optimal recovery.
