There’s a current in our culture that glorifies hustle. We’re all supposed to be doing productive stuff all the time and maximizing our output and streamlining our processes and whatever. One way this manifests is that we brag about how little sleep we get. This is not ok.
Sleep is essential to health. Depriving people of sleep is a torture technique, y’all. Let’s not engage in self-torture! We deserve to be healthy and happy humans.
Not convinced. Sigh. Fine. Getting enough sleep will make us more productive in our lives in general and will contribute to optimizing our fitness. Weight workouts are fabulous, but our muscles get stronger when we sleep afterwards, during the repair phase. Also, we do better in the workouts themselves if we begin well-rested.
Go play. And then get some sleep.
