If there’s one facet of the training regimen many athletes tend to neglect, it’s sleep and recovery. But skimping on either can single-handedly halt your gains, increase your risk for injury in the gym or on the road, and hinder processes in your body that regulate, well, pretty much everything. Sleep gives you more than just rest; it recharges your “battery,” a.k.a. nervous system and replenishes your energy stores. Naturally, the deeper and better you sleep, the better you reload. That’s important because if you don’t let your central nervous system (CNS) recuperate, your fitness suffers since your CNS is responsible for triggering muscle contractions, reaction time, and response to pain and you can start overloading your body on a larger scale. You’re going to become slower, weaker, maybe even less coordinated in your workouts. What’s more, your endocrine system and hormone profile are working while you’re sleeping. These are really important because they secrete hormones, like cortisol and testosterone, that produce protein synthesis (muscle growth). In a stressed-out state, people have high cortisol levels, which can hurt performance and goals over a long period of time. Bottom line, without proper rest and restoration, you start degrading muscle growth and recovery, and your central nervous system stops recharging, so you feel tired, unmotivated, and weak in your workouts, causing a negative feedback loop that can start a vicious cycle.
