The power of Sleep
If you're a busy adult in Bryan or College Station looking to get stronger, there’s one powerful habit you might be overlooking: Sleep. At BCS Fitness, we help busy people over 40 get real results—sleep included.
Sleep and Strength: The Connection
Sleep isn’t just for rest; it’s the critical recovery period when your muscles rebuild and grow stronger. Without enough quality sleep, your workouts suffer, recovery slows down, and your strength goals stall.
Easy Ways to Improve Sleep:
-
Keep a Consistent Sleep Schedule: Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep nightly, with consistent bedtimes and wake-up times.
-
Create a Relaxing Routine: Shut off screens at least 30 minutes before bed to improve sleep quality.
-
Sleep in a Cool, Dark Room: The optimal sleep temperature is around 65 degrees.
-
Limit Caffeine and Alcohol: Both interfere with deep sleep, essential for muscle growth. Avoid caffeine 10-12 hours before bedtime.
