Sleep is not passive recovery. It is the primary period during which tissue repair, neuromuscular consolidation, and hormonal restoration occur. The performance consequences of inadequate sleep are well-documented:
—Reduced reaction time and cognitive processing
—Elevated injury risk (athletes sleeping under 8 hours
show a 1.7x higher injury rate)
—Impaired glycogen replenishment and protein synthesis
—Dysregulated cortisol and reduced HGH output
Human Growth Hormone (HGH) is something your body naturally produces, and it plays a big role in how you grow, repair, and stay healthy especially when you sleep.
