The Power of Sleep

Sleep plays a crucial role in enhancing physical health, as it is essential for neuronal repair and recovery. Professional athletes often require 9 to 11 hours of sleep, indicating the body's increased need for rest during periods of high physical demand. Insufficient sleep, typically observed in the average American, can hinder hormone optimization and muscle recovery. Optimal sleep patterns include achieving at least two deep sleep cycles per night, which can be complemented by strategic naps if necessary.
