Can you make good gains with like 6-7 hours of sleep as a beginner?

@wishwish55 I’m lucky if I get 5 gains are gaining!

@wishwish55 As a 37 year old mom of 3 kids under 7, yes you can. What is sleep?

@wishwish55 Have you tried using white noise to block out the sound? I use that and it helps me a lot.

 

[wishwish55]

@jermyn I have a fan next to me so I'll be sure to use that.

 

[dawn16]

@wishwish55 no

@wishwish55 Look at these. Get your ass into bed earlier.

@wishwish55 You can, but it will definitely be slower than it could be, and will make progression much more difficult later on. To max out gains with this unfortunate sleep situation, just be as consistent as possible with what sleep you have, eat plenty of protein, train hard, and have a good time. Personally I wouldn't be in a calorie deficit either, but your goals may be different.

@wishwish55 What are you? Some kind of pussy? You don’t sleep anymore. You should just lift with your eyes closed.

@wishwish55 would if i get 6 hours and a 2 hour nap the same day, is that the same as getting 8 continuous hours?

 

[jpatt]

@wishwish55 Can you get a nap sometime outside of sleep hours?

 

[gath]

@wishwish55 Sleep as much and as long as you can!

 

[jazzyd777]

@wishwish55 sensory deprivation. get yourself some ear plus and eye mask

@wishwish55 I'm not buyimg the 7-9 hour for everyome. I'm no scientist, but feel quality of sleep is more important than hours. I generally feel fine at 6 hours. I do get to sleep very fast (withijg 5 minutes), and rarely get up durong the evening, so thaf 6 houea is consistently all sleep, np tossong, or breaks durong the night.

@wishwish55 Don't stress yourself about sleep, it will only make you sleep worse. Try to fit a nap (20 minutes max) into your day.

 

[manicmike500]

@wishwish55 Eye mask and earplugs. Get them right now. It will help you.

 

[dawn16]

@wishwish55 Sleep is really important. A few years ago I was sleeping for only 5 hours and not only did my gains diminish but my mental and physical health suffered as well. Despite that you can still make some significant gains, trust me. I know this from my own experience.

 

[wishwish55]

@dawn16 Since I'm still a beginner I'm hoping my body can adapt.

 

[mdrivers]

@wishwish55 I've noticed that I've got to have 7. I can work out hard and function. But with 6, I'm tired all the time and I burn out easy.

@wishwish55 I'm torn between my desire to not discourage people to ask questions, and my desire to tell the op they are a teenager and to stop thinking they will get any real "gainz" without a few years of consistent training, and that "optimal" sleep is does not mean anything else is a waste of time.

Really wish there was a way to filter questions like these from teenagers.
