Sleep is the fountain of youth everyone has had under their noses this whole time.
Unfortunately, there the average person is sleep deprived and doesn't even know it.
It's not uncommon that people are sleeping 7 or 6 hours (or less!) a night and think they are functioning fine
But why is this?
Few People Know How Important Sleep Is.
People aren't educated on the importance of sleep
Everyone thinks they are sleeping "enough"
Most people think giving up sleep for other things in life "makes sense" and "is normal”
People think they don't have time to sleep enough.
Nobody realizes the difference between bed time and actual sleep time.
I actually fell down these traps myself when I was 23 and 24 years old.
It cost me a lot.
I'll be dropping a full-length YouTube video on all this tomorrow.
Make sure you head on over and subscribe so you don't miss it!
I'll go into detail there.
Long story short, I was dying at 24 years old after going only 5 hours a night for consecutive months.
Luckily, I made it out alive.
I have seen the truth, and will share it with you now.
Here's how to maximize your sleep and use it as the potent performance enhancement that it is, step by step:
Step 1: Understand true sleep recommendations.
This is important because we've all fallen for the general sleep recommendations.
7-9 hours. Right?
The issue is 2 fold:
1. 7 hours of sleep time means 8 hours in bed usually.
2. These recommendations are for "average" people.
In other words, people that don't workout often (or at all).
People that don't partake in mentally demanding work for more than a couple of hours a day.
People that aren't striving to be their best selves.
Those are average people.
If you want to be exceptional:
An exceptional physique, exceptional results, exceptional discipline, exceptional quality of life...
Then we must see ourselves as athletes.
And we must set our new true recommendations that athletes demand:
8-9 hours of sleep time (9-10 hours of bed time) per night.
Sounds "impossible"?
You only think that due to past conditioning.
The same conditioning that is creating obese, mentally ill, weak and frail individuals.
Easiest way to break this belief is by increasing your sleep time by 1-2 hours for the next 7 days in a row.
You won't even believe how you feel.
Step 2: Improve Your Sleep Quantity With This Sleep Quality Checklist
So many people go front here.
Even if they do get a lot of sleep, they wake up feeling tired, sore and lethargic.
Here are a few reasons why:
1. They workout in the evening.
2. They drink coffee or pre workout in the evening. (Because of an afternoon crash)
3. They bring their smartphones in bed with them or keep them closeby.
4. They try to go straight from working to bed.
5. They fall asleep watching TV or some other screen/device.
6. They drink water all the way up until it's time for bed.
The reason these are all mistakes, is because they cause sleep interruptions.
Which means you've spent even less time actually sleeping than you think.
Because the quality of sleep tanked.
Doing the opposite will go a long way to maximizing your sleep quantity.
Meaning:
1. Try to avoid working out soon before bed
2. Avoid stimulants, like caffeine at least 6 hours before bed
3. Avoid blue light/screen 30 minutes before bed.
4. Finish drinking large amounts of fluids a couple hours before bed.
Step 3: Prime your sleep environment.
By this point, you will notice results "overnight" (See what I did there?)
But actually. Overnight.
People are always surprised at how much different they feel.
After even one night of quality sleep.
Because it's your body operating at full capacity.
Chances are, you've been walking around all along a partial zombie.
Start stringing many nights of quality sleep back to back?
You'll feel like you took the "Limitless" drug.
To top it off and to set yourself up for the best sleep possible:
Prime your sleep environment.
Which means your bedroom.
* Set room temperature between 15-19 degrees celsius (colder the better)
* Keep the room as dark as possible (blackout shades if needed)
* Make sure you don't get woken up (earplugs if needed)
With these 3 key steps in place, you're now ready.
Ready to prime your body with the most potent performance enhancement that exists.
This is being kept from us.
As testosterone levels decline.
Mental health plummets.
Obesity, diabetes and heart disease skyrocket.
Sacrificing health for the pursuit of money via modern-day elavement.
Your best opportunity to take your power back.
To operate at your capacity.
Life life with invincible energy.
Perpetual positivity.
And the physique of your dreams.
Is with more dreams.
Because the reality is:
If you don't snooze, you lose.
