You gotta get enough sleep. Our bodies are linked to the movements of the sun. When the sun rises our cortisol levels begin to rise and we’ll naturally awaken. When the sun goes down, we start to get sleepy, our growth and repair hormones rise and we begin to recharge for the next day.
It doesn’t really happen like that in today’s world though. We keep our awakening hormones high for longer than we’re naturally programmed to and our bodies don’t get the proper rest and recovery times.
Physical repair best happens between 10pm and 2am and mental repair happens between 2am and 6am. So every minute you go to bed after 10pm, you’re limiting your potential for physical repair to happen.
