Have you ever wondered why some days you feel like you can conquer the world, while on others, you struggle to lift even the lightest weights?
Welcome to Episode 10 of "No Stone Unturned," we're delving into the science of sleep and how it can be the ultimate game-changer in your quest for strength. You may have heard the phrase, "Sleep is the most powerful drug" and for good reason. Yet, in the world of hard people, it can often be overlooked. But fear not! In this episode, we'll shine a spotlight on the critical role sleep plays in your strength gains.
At the end of each video, I'm going to provide a score based on three crucial aspects: Personal Enjoyment, The Scientific Evidence, and The Practicality for the Average Athlete. You'll be able to compare it to the other dimensions of this series. And hopefully, at the end, you'll get some practical takeaways to improve your training.

@a-a-rondavis9438 Ай бұрын

Colder is better. In the summer, my room is around 65-66°F (under covers and a weighted blanket of course), and in the winter, it's basically as cold as it can reasonably get, around 55-58°F or even lower. Anything above 70 even in the dead heat of summer is too hot and stuffy. It does need context that I sleep with multiple layers and a weighted blanket, so I need it that cold to not wake up sweating, but all that weight is key for a comfortable sleep. Fan, A/C fan, and no heat is coming in.

Yo mitch, regarding the THC thing: I've been a user almost every night for the past 5 years and whilst it absolutely does help you get to sleep in the short term, it also has its drawbacks. You get less REM sleep when you're high with your ability to dream greatly diminished (dreams are important) and you become dependent on THC to be able to sleep at all after a while

@Mikeboi94 Ай бұрын

@psh3m Ай бұрын

What helped me regaining REM was CBD. If I'm using THC in the evening I take a few drops of CBD oil about half an hour before sleep. I started dreaming again the first night I tried it.

@xxx0ox0 Ай бұрын

Why are dreams important? I perfer not remembering most

@psh3m Ай бұрын

@@xxx0ox0 Dreaming is not important per se, many people forget their dreams when they wake up or don't dream at all. What is important is REM or deep sleep, when most dreaming happens. Mind and body recovers during this phase and short term memories are "transferred" to long term memory. THC use can disrupt REM sleep phase.

I was addicted to THC for 12 years, and now that I've been off it for about 5 months, I noticed that I've been dreaming every night. When I was high, I NEVER dreamed. Maybe 5-10 dreams in those 12 years. I don't know why, but it tells me that it does have an effect on your REM cycle. It might help you zonk out, but it may also have a detrimental effect on your quality of sleep. Same goes for caffeine; lots of us are able to fall asleep after drinking coffee, but the quality diminishes because of the altered brain chemistry.

Highly recommend all forms of content on sleep from Matthew Walker (Sleep Diplomat). Interestingly, he recommends against THC/CBD for optimizing sleep for various reasons even though people report shorter sleep onset time. Also, most research points to cold exposure being best done in the morning and heat exposure best before bed. A warm shower actually lowers core body temp, which is what you want before sleep. Completely agree sleep is #1 and thank you Ashley!!!

Blue light can be good from morning until just before sunset. It helps the clock stay centered on cycle. Early evening at home is effectively lit by low yield yellow orange and red lights placed on low tables or near the floor. It harmonizes with the sun going down, again keeping the clock in sync. It feels good, too.

I'm 100% on sleep. I'll add that was the first indicator that I had a change in my overall health. When I routinely struggled to sleep through the night after a long history of sleeping well I went and got my bloodwork and identified that something had changed in my health. You can't get that initial indicator if you don't have good sleep to begin with.

I was suffering with low testosterone (I'm 44). I started carnivore, took zinc supplements, got my sleep analyzed and got back into weight training. I found I had sleep apnea and was having waking episodes without realizing it which was causing me to have very little restful sleep. I got a CPAP and once I had diet, supplementation, training and sleep on point, my testosterone increased significantly. I also started supplementing with melatonin which has further increased the quality of my rest. I am on the higher range for testosterone now when previously I was recommended TRT.

I experimented with the room temperature for sleeping this past winter in Scotland. I had my room heater turned completely off and bedroom window opened slightly, every single day. I used a sleeping bag + summer/winter/both duvets depending on how cold the air temperature was that night. One night it got down to -5Celcius outside, still with heaters off and window open I slept like it was a dry run for death. The colder the room the better for me.

Something I would like to give as "warning" to some folks. I have not smoked dope since the 70s but back then I could not fall asleep at ALL if I was the least bit high. I knew several people like that including a truck driver who would occasionally take a hit to stay awake on long trips. Also I had heard lower temps than mentioned for optimal sleeping.. I keep mine at 65 F

@d_andreev Ай бұрын

Great tips! I would also add going to sleep at roughly same time every night also helps a lot. THC is a sedative, similar to alcohol. It helps you fall asleep faster, but that doesn't mean that it's high quality sleep. There is plenty of evidence that THC impacts sleep and specifically REM sleep negatively.

@bennyroberts4779 Ай бұрын

Andrew Huberman is doing a guest series talking about sleep with Dr. Matthew Walker at the moment. They draw the same conclusions except for the THC. THC effects the REM stage which reduces sleep quality.

As always Mitch, GREAT insights and learning experiences! First is to thank Ashley for being down the road to be the best version of yourself. Second, felt bad for some to put you names when you are so nice and have an admirable philosophy of life to not just be great at what you do but help others as well. The way I see it is very easy to hide behind the internet to make feel feel bad. Glad you don't pay attention tothat.. Now, if I may and from personal experience, I'd like to add to your great efforts to provide this information that I am used to workout in the evenings (6-7PM, 5-6 times week) and obviously the amount of water, probably BCAA as well, protein shakes (water or milk) makes a big difference in your quality of sleep because you have to wake up and pee way more that you do it in the morning....at least 5 times!. I found that for me it works a lot better in terms of performance, strength and conditioning to do it at this time of the day. So it is not in my plans to change it :) BUT this is definitely a negative factor when it comes to quality of sleep because if I do it in the morning, obviously I don't wake up that much. Also and wasn't mentioned in your video, to me it's been great the use of melatonin instead of taking sleeping pills. Helps me to in 1/2 hr -1hr to feel sleep and go deeper while I am sleep. So I think it is great, I believe it is a supplement and not harmful. I should also say that before my workout, I usually take a nap that helps me to be at my best most of the times. Thanks Mitch for being such a great guy...wishing some day to shake hands with you :)!
