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.

So your body's like, why would I want to increase my resource demands when things are stressful?

So it's like pro-fat, anti-muscle is what poor sleep produces.
