If you’re training to see serious results (whatever those results may be), you need your sleep. It’s the interval that you’ve been training for, the time when your body repairs and rebuilds. A good night’s sleep allows you to be fully energized during your next workout, which allows you to train with the utmost intensity, positively affecting the kind of results you’ll get…do you see my point?
So if you’re not training, you might want to think about how much sleep you get. But if you’re training for results, you must think about how much sleep you get. Shoot for at least 8 hours a night, and try to get to bed at or before midnight. I’ll be honest, I go to sleep between 12 to 12:30 every night. But then again, I wake up after 9. So adjust your schedule accordingly; but keep in mind, sleep after midnight is much less effective then sleep before midnight (in layman’s terms).
And if you don’t believe me about it affecting your workouts, try going to sleep late and performing the same circuit workout. Your weights, tiredness, and overall mind-to-body connection will decrease dramatically.

I agree, if your not getting quality sleep, your causing more harm to yourself, and not allowing room for the body to repair itself. A healthy lifestyle includes the following three areas: Solid Eating habits, quality exercise, and the necessary sleep.
I totally agree Miguel. Thanks for reading.
I totally agree Dan. It’s good that you’re focusing alot on rest. I think your nickname should be “the sleeper”
