Title: Does erratic sleep schedule affect training?
Post by: fast does lie on July 19, 2012, 06:24:43 am

We all know sleep is vital to training; it is when testosterone and hormones are released to grow and repair body plus a lot more...

Here's my problem-- I do get 8-10 hrs of sleep per day, but I don't sleep at normal times AND I can't sleep 8-10 hrs all at once.  I usually sleep 2-3 hrs and I'd have to wake up.  So I take like 3-4 naps a day that is 2-3 hrs long or I may stay up for 30-40 hrs straight to get work done and then pass out for 12 hrs straight.

Is this problematic to my training and power development?  If so, I think I may have to get some type of prescription sleep medicine.

Thanks.
