Sleeping In

[gibs0n]

Hi hi

Its saturday morning in New Zealand and I slept in big time today!
Its nearing the end of the first week of my new fitness lifestyle and I didnt set any alarms today. I did a workout last night and was so stuffed that I just slept from 11pm right through till 10:30 this morning. So I didnt have my first meal 'till 11am. Is this bad? Does it throw the whole diet & exercise thang out of kilter? I normally only get about 6hrs a night during the week, and the weekends have always been a treat for sleeping in. Does anyone else do this on the weekends? or do you hardcore bro's get up at 6:30 on saturday and sunday too? what about when yer lady wants to do a workout with you in the morning before getting outa bed etc. .... I feel kinda guilty, what are your thoughts?

Cheers

You grow while youre sleeping.....sleep in on the weekends, it will only benefit you. Don't worry about missing a meal because youre sleeping in, just eat a little more through the day if youre really worried about it.

sleep as much as possible

As everyone said, sleep is anabolic. You need it.

I am not the sleeping type person and it really pisses me off sometimes. I can get a good night sleep, then I get tired mid-day. I decide to take a nap and I can't! what do you guys recommend to get good afternoon nap! thanks!

Make sure your room is as dark as possible and maybe run a fan in the background to provide some white noise. That helps me sleep during the day.

i sleep best in a moving car. strange, but for some reason once i'm on the road as a passenger... the second the car gets on the freeway i'm out like a light.

yummm.... i can't wait to sleep in tomorrow. but then gotta get up and study.. . fuckin exams cutting into my workouts too. i'm going to miss a full week, that's three sessions, to these bastages.
