Out of many normal activities, sleep is one of the most important activities. But due to stress and other factors, many people struggle to sleep. Sleep is disturbed due to several reasons. Teenagers normally disturbed their sleep schedule intentionally and after some time their schedule is disturbed and despite a lot of effort, they are not easily back to the normal routine. It is founded on the results of US research that nearly 30% of adults sleep less than 6 hours each night. Every one of three people suffers to sleep. Athletes and people who do high-intensity exercise face difficulty in sleeping. Due to heavy exercise, their sleep is disturbed.

Balance the Load

Sleep deprivation is very common in people who do high training and exercise. Due to the high load of training, sleep disturbance is found in the athletes. Many athletes think that if they pay attention to their training they will manage the sleep issues and overcome this but it is more crucial than anyone thinks. High training endures sleep disturbance. High training and exercise routine is built in athletes after weeks and months. It is important to monitor the training session and period as there are many problems spotted during this time and sleep disturbance is a major problem. Even shorter training affects sleep and also impacts health. A survey is conducted on athletes with different pieces of training time. Every week the condition and health of the athletes are observed. The first week is normal for all the athletes. But after six weeks, the changes were found out by the researchers. The changes include aerobic fitness, mood state, and incidence of illness. The sleep quality of the athletes is also observed for the six weeks. And heavy training results in a decrease in sleep. Aerobic fitness is also decreased. It is challenging for the coaches and athletes to maintain the training and their health as they know high intense training has an impact on their sleep and health.

Growth Hormone Importance

The sleep schedule matters a lot.  When you go to sleep after a tiring day your brain and body get the time for repairing themselves. For the maximum growth and repair of the muscle, growth hormone is important. It helps in strengthening bones after the high training sessions. The growth hormone is secreted from the pituitary gland in the brain. It releases due to non-rapid movement of the eyes. Sleep is the best time for this. But unfortunately, lack of sleep becomes the biggest issue. Many people face difficulty in sleeping mainly include athletes and trainers.  Poor sleep results in a decrease in growth hormones. When the body does not get the chance of proper growth, the fruitful advantage from the training cannot be gained. Furthermore, lack of sleep causes hormonal imbalance. And decreases the ability of the body to heal itself.

Prevention is Better

Prevention is the best way to deal with the problems. Through prevention techniques, performance is a boost. Never increase the training and intensity at a similar time. If you are increasing duration keep the slow pace. And if you are increasing intensity don’t continue it for a long time. Continuously monitor your sleep, many applications can help you in regarding this. Monitor your heart rate through an HRV monitor. It is very important to gain knowledge about sleep and training and approaches to balance them both. Of course, training is necessary to achieve the milestones in the career. But sleep is necessary for having a good and healthy life.
