Article: Is Sleep Essential For Optimal Body Composition?

I wonder what would happen if they were in a surplus? Would most of the weight gained be fat for the group with 5 hours of sleep?
 
Most likely man, sleep regulates all kinds of hormones and aids in recovery. I had a buddy break it down to me once in pretty simple terms. " Every one is so avid about drinking a protein shake for post workout recovery, so why not be just as avid about POST post workout recovery, sleep" this is when most of the recovery happens anyway. I try to get a MINIMUM of 6 hours a night, I know it's a little low but I usually get around 7. I had to stop training before work at 0430 in the morning due to the fact I wasn't getting enough sleep, I have to be at work at 0645
