how much sleep to recover?

[kuddles100]

my workouts are absolutely brutal, most of you would not be able to walk after my workouts. but my issue is i have problems sleeping especially i get older. Obviously my recocvery has taken a beating as i've aged and i feel like i am not getting enough sleep. how much sleep do we really need? The rock said he only sleeps 3 hours a night so i don't know.

At least 6-7 hours per day to recover, up to 8.

if a person claims they only sleep 3 hours a night then they are either full of shit liars trying to fake being tough or they have some sort of psychological problem like being bipolar or ADHD etc.

let's look at Tom Brady as an example. he gets 8 hours of sleep a night. it is extremely important for his longevity

you should really get 8 hours of sleep... 6-7 is ok but 8 is what you should get

The key is to be rested. But don't brag about your workouts if they're so hard you can't recover.

I recommend a minimum of 7 quality hours per night. The key word is quality.

I sleep about 6 to 7 but it is really defendant on your day and activity. 8 is ideal
