I say consistently because we tend to try to sleep well Monday through Thursday, but

Friday night, Saturday night, we all like to stay up late, try to sleep in the next day.

We end up getting jet lagged every Monday.

And that switching of the circadian rhythm, even if it's just a couple hours, actually translates into not great sleep.

So it's got to be consistent.

Seven days a week, same bedtime, same wake time.

This makes a huge difference.

Right.

Yeah, a stressed body wants to store body fat and does not want more muscle.

And here's why.

More body fat is more insurance in case of historically what was always a very stressful thing for people, which was not getting enough food.

So anytime you're under stress, your body's like store up.

So it's like, think about it with money.

Stressful job market out there.

Things are looking crazy.

Honey, we're not going to spend as much money.

We're going to save more because it's going to make me feel more secure.

This is what your body does with body fat.

It doesn't want to build muscle when you have a lot of stress, like from not sleeping well, because muscle is expensive.

It costs way more resources than body fat does.
