Sleep Deprivation Effects
- Chronic sleep deprivation, even just 1-3 hours less for three nights, severely impacts glucose regulation and cognitive function.
- It mimics pre-diabetic symptoms, impairing glucose disposal and insulin production.
HIIT and Sleep Deprivation
- Counteract sleep deprivation's negative metabolic and cognitive effects with high-intensity interval training (HIIT).
- Even 10 minutes of HIIT can significantly improve blood flow, memory, and cognition.
Lactate's Role in HIIT
- During HIIT, lactate, previously considered a waste product, is now understood as a vital signaling molecule.
- It promotes glucose uptake in muscles, enhancing glucose regulation for ~48 hours.
