When most people think about getting fitter or healthier, the first things that come to mind are working out harder or eating cleaner. While those are both important, there’s another factor that plays just as big a role in your results: sleep.
At CrossFit Influence, we believe in a holistic approach to fitness. That means looking beyond just workouts and nutrition to include stress management, lifestyle habits, and one of the biggest game changers, quality sleep.
Why Sleep Matters for Your Health & Fitness
- Muscle recovery & strength: Your muscles don’t grow during your workout, they grow while you sleep. Deep sleep is when your body repairs and rebuilds from the stress of training.
- Energy & performance: Poor sleep leads to fatigue, sluggish workouts, and reduced motivation. A good night’s sleep primes you to hit the gym ready to perform at your best.
- Hormone balance: Sleep directly impacts hormones that regulate hunger and stress. Without enough rest, it’s harder to manage cravings and maintain a healthy metabolism.
- Mental resilience: A rested brain is sharper, more focused, and better equipped to handle stress, both in and out of the gym.
How Much Sleep Do You Really Need?
Most adults need 7–9 hours of quality sleep each night. But it’s not just about the hours, it’s about sleep quality. Creating a consistent bedtime routine, limiting screen time before bed, and keeping your bedroom cool and dark are all small changes that can make a big difference.
The 28-Day Challenge: Sleep Included
We’re kicking off our next 28-Day Challenge on September 8th, and during that challenge, we have a focus on sleep along with nutrition. Because the truth is, no matter how well you eat or train, if you’re not recovering properly, your progress will stall.
Over the 28 days, you’ll:
- Learn practical strategies for improving your sleep habits
- Track your nutrition and workouts
- Get accountability from our coaching team
- See how recovery and lifestyle changes can amplify your results
