Or maybe I should ask, are you getting your strength and performance sleep? For me, getting the appropriate amount of sleep has been a life-long struggle. While I can be disciplined and systematized about food and exercise, I am very nonchalant about caring for myself in the area of sleep. I do notice, however, when I make it a task to get a full night's sleep (for me this is about six hours - it is different for everyone), I see a big change in how I feel, both physically and mentally. When we are chronically tired, it effects our ability to think clearly and make decisions. It also effects our performance in the gym. If you feel generally lethargic and slow, imagine how that translates into a workout? What if you came at a workout full rested and full of energy? What is something you can do to commit to getting more sleep on a regular basis?
