I understand that a good night's sleep is pivotal while trying to lose weight, but there's one particular question I'm frankly clueless about (despite having already lost in excess of 40kg).
Gym opening hours are usually pretty terrible on weekends. My local gym is only open till 11am on a Sunday, for instance. Which means I'd have to wake up early in order to get to the gym, and get by on about 6 hours of sleep. Maybe less depending on how undisciplined I am the night before (bear in mind I need to wake at about 8am in order to have breakfast at about 8:30, and hit the gym about an hour later to allow for a good workout).
So my question is this: would it be more beneficial to enjoy a full sleep of 8 or 9 hours, or to take away a few hours of sleep to get to the gym for a workout? Your body does burn calories while you sleep, after all.
Cheers.
