Bad sleep might be costing you more than recovery. 😴📉

Research highlighted in this article found that cutting time in bed from 8.5 to 5.5 hours reduced fat loss by 55% during a calorie-restricted diet—even though total weight loss was nearly identical.

Less sleep shifted more of that weight loss away from fat and toward lean mass, while also increasing hunger and reducing fat oxidation.

If your goal is to lose fat while keeping muscle, sleep needs to be treated with the same attention as your calories, protein, and training.
