Effect of Sleep on Gains
Getting five to six hours of sleep for two nights per week may not substantially impact long-term progress. Deeper and more intense sleep after challenging nights can help with recovery. Ideally, you should get eight to nine hours of sleep each night, but occasional sleep deficits can be compensated for with deeper sleep on subsequent nights.
