How important is Sleep?

[Stainless_Steel]

I am 24 years old and will be 25 in July. I've been training hard since I was 19. I first started working out because I had to for football(16 years old). It was required. I didn't like it much at first, but started to like it real quick when body changed and girls started noticing.

What about getting the 5 thru the week and just sleep all weekend. Like on Sat and Sun get 14 hours of sleep?

That would help, as soon as your body can get used to the routine.

I am getting ready to start a Sus/winny cycle. I know that when you are not at the gym is when you grow and the diet is very important. My problem is going to be getting the sleep I need. I go to school in the mornings( 8:00 am-2:30pm) and then off to work(3:30pm-12:00am). I work out in the mornings and weekends. I get around 5 hours of sleep. So how bad is this going to hurt my gains if everything else is in check. Should I wait to do cycle in a year when I am finished with school? Who am I kidding the gear is on the way and there is no way I am going to be able to wait a year once I get it. That would be like putting a hot, naked, nympho, on E in front of a guy on 1000mg of Test and expect him not to hit it.
I would appreciate any info given especially from guys that have done cycles in same situation.

Just sleep at school. LOL Sleep is very important! If you don’t believe that try and do without it, I’ve noticed immediate loss of strength due to lack of sleep and vice versa.

buddy you need to learn before you touch the sauce. There's a triangle with key factors that should never be sacrificed. They are Training, nutrition and rest. Those are the key factors for building muscle. You drop one and you are wasting your time.

You asked how important is sleep?

divide 100 by 3 being 100 a hundred percent of your maximum developing potential and 3 the three key factors explained above.

100/3= 33.33333

The answer is, sleep represents the 33.3% of your muscle building progress. That's how important it is.

you can't go wrong with this post

Personally, I think sleep runs a close second to eating. If you do not have enough sleep, your workouts will suffer because you are too tired. Also, muscle grows in the RECOVERY phase. Sleep is the optimum time for that. Just my opinion.

I find that I need alot less sleep when I am on than off. I can grow well with just 5 hours a sleep during the week, but do crash on the weekends and sleep about 8 or 9 hours each on friday and saturday night. I think the sleep issues, like most things, is going to depend on the person. You will definetely need less sleep while on, so that is a plus for you no matter how you look at it. You may not do your best with less sleep, but you will do well.
