Happy Wednesday, !

🤔Commonly Asked Question: Does it really matter if I skimp on sleep?

Hate to break it to you, but it may take only ONE BAD NIGHT OF SLEEP for your body to start storing fat and breaking down muscle!

Swedish researchers found that after a sleepless night, the muscles of people participating in their study showed signs of protein breakdown.

😲 AND their fat tissue showed higher levels of compounds that help boost fat storage!

Not only that, after the sleepless night… genes in their fat tissue linked with obesity and type 2 diabetes changed.

So, what does that mean on a practical level? Here are some tips:

😴 Make time for sleep — set aside 7-8 hours of sleep every night

😴 Set yourself up for a great night of sleep with your daily habits and routines

😴 Eat a healthy diet with plenty of protein to help your body build & maintain muscle

😴 Aim for 2+ strength-training workouts in your fitness routine weekly
