Sleep Is The Best Pre-Workout (Science-Based)

The best pre-workout is proper sleep!

One study found that improving sleep quality and getting a consistent 8 hours of sleep helped the participants gain more muscle. In fact, they gained about 45% more muscle [1]. Other research found that sleeping 8 hours instead of 5 hours helps you maintain 40% more muscle while in a calorie deficit [2].

Your sleep is foundational. Just like training consistently and having healthy nutrition.

Now, just one night of sleeping less will not make or break your progress. Research shows that sleeping 5 hours for 1 night decreased strength performance by only 3% [3]. But you definitely want to make proper sleep a habit for long-term gains.

23 participants? Heavily underpowered study, not reliable unless replicated many times...
