X by getting every aspect of your training right Most guys watch youtube videos on how to build muscle, and focus on the right workouts, best exercises and the meal plans to do it. The problem is, even if you get all of these things right, you still can ruin your hard work by messing up the anabolic window you get during sleep. Sleep is the time during your day that you do the most muscle building. Yes, you do stimulate muscle growth with what you do during your workout, but the actual anabolic process occurs at night when you rest. As I explain in this video, your natural growth hormone release occurs in peak amounts during your deep REM sleep. Failing to get a restful night's sleep can sacrifice your ability to enter adequate deep sleep and severely limit your ability to build muscle. Beyond that, proper protein supplementation just before bed can help enormously in the pursuit of building muscle. Having the faster acting whey protein available to take advantage of the initial release of growth hormone and then following it with the slower acting casein protein is key for speeding up the process of building muscle. In fact, poor pre-sleep nutrition and inadequate sleep are so important to muscle growth and size gains that even the best workout can be undone by not getting this right. That said, the best plan for you to build the most muscle is to sleep 6, 7 and a half, or 9 hours per night while making sure to take a blend of whey and casein protein just before bed. Get your sleep right and you'll find that your workouts will become that much more productive (as long as you're not overtraining) and building muscle size will become easier. For a complete workout and nutrition program that provides you with a plan to get these results without sacrificing your recovery, then

Ive been using this sleep cycle for almost 10 years now. I used to deviate and say, sleep for 5. 5hrs because i thought length of sleep determined my level of rest. No. Dropping to 4. 5hrs instantly, the first day, made a huge difference. Start doing this by setting your alarm for one of these windows of time (3hrs, 4. 5, 6, etc) and try to set it as your just about to fall asleep. not when you first got in bed and tossed for 30 minutes before you actually fell asleep. make that adjustment and you will start having the best mornings and days that follow. Play with the times because they are not set, as every human is different. Trust your body and use the times as guidelines. Do this every night for 2 weeks, keep a note in your phone about how you feel, then check back on your info and set the timeframe that felt best for you.

I understood it by chance while eating two eggs before sleep for a couple of days instead of eating them in the morning as I didn't really feel into eating anything but my protien shake in the morning and I felt full. Then I noticed firm muscles in a couple of days! Though I have been training for two years but whenever I am stressed muscles melt like a piece of butter on fire as if I am not doing anything. The turning point was when I started eating eggs or drinking shake again before bed. I saw the difference and started digging science to make sure what's happening! So Now by experience and scientifically based protien is magic if you take it before bed!

I'm on the AX1 program now. I have sleep apnea and use a CPAP machine. I'm not fat, but have a hard time losing my mid section and building muscle. I am 46 and weigh 158. Skinny all over. Just have the belly and waist. I follow your meal plan and it is what I've kinda eaten the past 3 years. I take your supplements and do use the vitamins you pretty much use. I do the shred twice a day. Probably should just do the standard meal plan you have. I'm a single dad of 2 boys. I'm thinking maybe stress and having sleep apnea could be the issue. Any recommendations? Thanks

I tried reconstrucxion (the night time recovery supplement) for the first time last night. I was dead tired yesterday man I thought I was gonna get up sore and tired as hell. I set my alarm for 7 hrs of sleep but I got up without the alarm after 6 hrs of sleep. I do have soreness but it's nothing I can't handle. I don't feel fatigued. Usually if I trained and worked like yesterday, I would've been feeling like shit by now. I know this. 100%. This was my first time. I'll keep commenting after further use for other viewers' experience.

Once again, a very informative video, Jeff! I'm mid 40's need to lose fat, and gain muscle. I keep hearing sleep, sleep, sleep is the key, but never how much. at my age, 8, 9 hours sleep is just not possible, and for me, 6. 5 hours is about the typical amount I get, so it's great to see the sleep cycle broken down, and thus confirming that my amount of sleep is not detrimental to muscle building.

Jeff I absolutley love how you give us information to be independent of you or anyone else. Your information is accurate amazing and I only buy my supplaments from athlean because of these facts. You sir hands down have a great approach rather than suck people in for monthly subscriptions and coaching you earn our respect with facts and knowledge. I'm a proud athlean supporter. Thank you

I'm coming out of adrenal burnout and now I sleep extremely lightly. I go to bed at 2030 and I'm wide awake at 0330. Is this normal? It's only 7 hours and if I get woken up at 0100 I'm screwed. I'm awake for the rest of the day. Is there something I can take that won't mess me up to try and get more sleep? Something that isn't addicting?

I lived on 4hrs of sleep per night for so long its hard for me to stay asleep when i hit the too of each cycle. I wake up every cycle and usually have a hard time sleeping. As i write this its after having woke up after the first sleep cycle. Hoping that improving my fitness will help me sleep longer.

Hi sorry to be -that guy- but deep sleep and rem sleep are not the same thing. deep sleep is stages 1-4 and rem sleep is stage 5. Deep sleep is where GH is highest and there is much more deep sleep in the first 4/5 hours of a sleep, towards the end of the sleep is more REM sleep. Smh.
