How important do you guys value sleep? Has anyone ever gotten a terrible nights sleep and all the sudden you become SUPER negative sad and depressed just from one shitty night?

I value it so much that I'm willing to invest more than necessary to accomodate my schedule around it.

I will also put myself in a position where I can afford to occasionally sacrifice my work in order to maintain a healthy state of mind.

Quality sleep is everything.

Where do you think you do your growing when you lift?

Why do you think you feel like shit the morning of your important day?

There's an old saying that I think was aimed at women, but it applies to men - "Buy a good bed and a good pair of shoes, because if you're not in one then you in the other". So true!

Sleep is one of the most important things in your life. Don't think you are one of those guys who only needs 6 hours each day, they did a research and only a few people have enough with those 6 hours (different gen), normal people need 7-9 hours, so see what works for you. I aim to get 8 hours of sleep each day so my recovery (sports) is optimal.

Sleep and nutrition, get those sorted out.

A lack of sleep makes people indeed moody, stressed, emotional, ...

as you get older this becomes very important.. one bad night can knock you off peak-performance for a few days

Lack of sleep negatively effects everything.

Be it I'm in the army and have to go days at a time without sleep, it's still not optimal. You're going to be functioning well below your maximum capacity when you don't get a good nights sleep.

On topic - what is the rolls Royce of pillows? Feels like my shitty ones are ducking up my neck and back, I’m willing to try anything at this point

Lack of sleep increases your stress hormone "cortisol". Cortisol increases your hunger, anxiety, and your body constantly feels like its on edge and never able to fully relax.

Lack of sleep is such an under looked phenomenon but theres tons of studies, that show how such poor performance our mind and body are able to do, when we have a lack of sleep.

"Has anyone ever gotten a terrible nights sleep and all the sudden you become SUPER negative sad and depressed just from one shitty night?"

All the time. My job can be busy and demanding and on occasion I am up for a good portion of the night, and there have been a number of times when I'm depressed and emotionally miserable af the next day, and I don't realize its because I'm tired until... I realize it's cause I'm tired. I've decreased the amount of.overnights I do because of it.

one night? I'm so jealous of people who have really great breathing airways and ways to decrease their stress hormones, it's ridiculous of how big of an advantage sleep provides in life.

8 hours a night. If I’m still doing work at bedtime, I’ll stop what I’m doing and make time for it the next day. Don’t skimp on your sleep.

Got four hours the other night, felt like shit for three days. Sleep is so important.
