What if Sleep Gives You Strength?
Discover how sleep makes you stronger
--
What if when it comes to working out, the prone dream-press is a workout you’ll want to make sure you include in your weekly rotation? Curious how important good sleep is to building and sustaining strong muscles? Use your curiosity getting ripped to push your learning about the importance of sleep to the max with this entry from the book, While You Were Sleeping on what happens with your muscles while you were sleeping.
Muscles
Can sleeping make you stronger? Believe it or not, a good night’s sleep could be the best (and easiest) workout you’ll ever have. Sleep is an important part of every exercise regime, but not because of the workout you receive from all that tossing and turning, which is around 100 times a night. It’s what your muscles are allowed to do only when you’re not moving that counts. While you are sleeping, your body can repair the muscle tissue that’s torn from exercising. Without these necessary repairs, it would be difficult for the muscles to grow. When you’re awake, well-rested muscles are also able to work out more.
