Are any of these you?
Over scheduled and burning the candle at both ends?
Chronically tired during the day?
Have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep?
Go to bed at random times or get up at random times?
Did you know that lack of or inconsistent sleep patterns can stall your fat loss?
Your body strives for homeostasis. It's going to do what it needs to do to maintain itself. You might notice when you are tired your cravings ramp up, your hunger is a bit higher than normal and your energy levels don't support your goal of going to the gym.
When your body is sleep deficient it will ask you (or yell at you) for energy and if that's not coming from a good nights sleep it's gonna ask for it from somewhere else. A lot of times it shows up in the form of hunger cues. You might find yourself spending the day trying to manage your tiredness with caffeine and snacks which are all symptomatic things that could be avoided by consistent sleep hygiene.
Don't make it harder on yourself by sacrificing one of the best tools for workout recovery and overall fit living.
Get your sleep as routine as you can!
