WEIGHT MANAGEMENT HACKS FOR THE SLEEP DEPRIVED ATHLETE
SLEEP IS A CRAZY THING. We need it, we know we need, we figure we can wing it if don't get enough. One would think if we're awake for more hours...
... we'd burn more calories.
Kinda true.
Here's the problem, at least for me, when I don't get enough sleep...
... I crave calories.
You know...
- sugar
- donuts
- cookies
... a sugar hit to rev me up.
What's the anti-dote?
- Crank up the protein intake,
crowd out the carbs. - Get in the easy workouts,
pushups, pullups, air squats - Be a cat,
take a nap
That, and a little extra caffeine helps me get through those rough days.
The better choice,
get to bed early,
same time,
each day...
... proper sleep is key.
