HOW REALLY IMPORTANT IS SLEEP

ad

I have been having a hard time sleeping lately. My sleep cycle is probably messed up due to the fact that I work night shift.
I always hear these 3 sayings train hard eat clean sleep like a baby. I see lots of postings about training and nutrition but barely enough on sleep.
HOW DOES LACK OF SUFFICIENT SLEEP REALLY AFFECT ABILITY TO BUILD MUSCLE.
DETAILS PLEASE

Arnold says you sleep 6 hours a night. I sleep 7.

Sleep/Rest is a must for me. If I don't get enough sleep I won't have the necessary energy to blast through a workout. Also sleep works wonders for me when I have PIP, I can basically sleep it off.

People who are partially sleep deprived can't even tell how it is affecting their reasoning and motor skills.

Your body releases HGH when you sleep and is more effective in repairing and healing itself. Sleep will improve your immune system and lower your blood pressure as well -important when on cycle.

Extremely, 60-70% of GH is released during sleep. You need REM sleep is what helps repair tissue.
