Sleep – for dads

[Yousif Jamal]

Hi Bryce and Joe,

I know sleep is very paramount to hypertrophy success, with 8 hours being optimal and 6-7 acceptable.

How can dads or new days deal with lack of sleep? Getting 4-6 most days.

I have young kids and had less than optimal sleep for years. Anywhere from 2-7 hours a night. It will never be ideal, but it can’t be helped. I would just look at other ways I could compensate. Good nutrition, additional recovery methods, listening to my body e.g. maybe not maxing out the next day on a workout after a night of a few hours sleep. Then trying to balance stress in other parts of my life. It’s not forever and the body can adapt.
