I. Do You Want to Look Good Naked? Then Get Some Sleep and Recover!:
I can throw you scientific measures of how important sleep is to your body, and how it can actually prevent the occurence of cancer, type 2 diabetes, and a vast variety of other illnesses, but I am going to keep it simple and to the point. Do you want to look good naked or not? This is a simple statement, and something everyone in the gym wants to be able to say to themselves, “Damn, I look Good Naked!”. Well, sleep is a key component to accomplishing that goal! Adequate sleep can increase fat loss, keep you from getting fat, sick, and prevent diabetes, and also keep you from wrinkling at an early age! If these are not facts to get you to bed earlier, then I do not know what will work. Inadequate sleep can make you chronically insulin resistant, and also cause elevated blood glucose levels from cortisol, which is similar to eating a high carb diet. Insulin resistance can cause us to store fat around the waistline, and as humans we tend not to use body fat for energy. Also, elevated cortisol levels, will stop the use of protein collagen, which in turns will stop us from producing healthy skin! So, bottom line, if your food intake is pretty good, you can cancel all your hard work with inadequate sleep, and mismanagement of stress and sleep. So, for god sakes, get some sleep and relax at some point!
