Sleep Vs. Work Out? Posted: 11-08-03 13:46pm
I am an extremely busy college student
with very little free time. I used to be
a pretty serious athlete, but now I don't
have much time to work out. Due to
constant sleep deprivation, I like to
sleep in when I get the chance rather than
going to the gym. My question is: is it
better for my body to catch up on sleep,
or to get in a good work out?
Thanks,
some college kid

Hey! I am in college and I go through
the same stuff. Sometimes, if I have had
6 or more hours of sleep the night before,
i'll go and get on the elliptical and it
actually gives me energy. ^_^ so, you
decide, if you are totally beat, sleep.
Sleep is always nourishing and it helps so
tht you don't experience moodiness.
However, 8 hours of sleep and you have
free time: hit the gym. Make schedules
too to fit it in, that helps me a ton.
I'm no doctor but...Hope that helped

If you're really sleep deprived,
definately take a nap. I'd suggest
exercise also though, so to try to fit
them both in, try taking a pretty short
nap, around maybe 20 minutes. You'll feel
more refreshed because your body hasn't
gotten into a deep sleep mode yet, and
you'll also have time to work out which
will make you feel even better.
