“The Most Overlooked Performance Supplement”

One of the most overlooked or misunderstood performance “supplements” that you is sleep.

That’s right, something that you have access to without having to spend a penny. Well, unless you don’t have a bed. In that case, you’ll have to spend much more than a penny.

You may have heard that you should be getting at least 8 hours of sleep per night. If you’re like me, you’re lucky to get 8 hours on a weekend. Trust me, I get it. We’re all busy and we all have stuff going on.

But sleep has some pretty big benefits on performance. Sleep loss the night before exercise or a game could lead to negative effects in strength, endurance, strength-endurance, and skill (Craven et al., 2022). Poor sleep can also lead to immune system dysfunction and decreased cognitive performance.

I hope by now you’re reflecting on the quality and quantity of sleep that you’re getting. Because it clearly makes a difference.

Last week, I received a question that was along the lines of “If I got a bad night of sleep, should I continue with my workout or focus on sleeping?” Honestly, I thought this was a pretty funny question. Try telling your coach or boss that you should skip out on today’s practice or day of work because you got a bad night of sleep last night.

You’ll have to continue with what needs to be done for the day, but you’re going to pay for it when your body and mind are more tired/fatigued than it usually is.

Long story short, don’t overlook your sleep. Don’t look for the magic supplement or secret trick when it’s sitting right there in front of you. There are some serious benefits that you could be missing out on.

Have a great day! Jesus loves you,
