Indeed. Optimal sleep and low stress will not only make hormones more favorable to burning fat but also to appetite regulation.

Tired people overeat in a way rested people do not.

Not to mention the massive benefits they provide to muscle generation and overall fitness. You can lift every day but if you don’t sleep, recover and eat enough protein it ain’t going to bring results.

Absolutely. You know what you do in your sleep? Rest, rebuild muscle, and not eat.

More sleep, less eating, shed them calories.

You also exhale CO2, which is the primary way we lose weight. Burned fat mostly comes out as water and CO2.

THC hinders REM sleep. Melatonin supplementation negatively impacts Melatonin production of the body.

No, I think getting the everyday stress level down and finding room for workout again is the solution but it’s not easy.
