5/27 Whole Life Wednesday

Thanks to everyone who participated in The Murph Challenge. Hope you all slept well. 
We are half-way through our 8 week Spring Whole Life Challenge. At this half-way point all of us are starting to notice positive changes. We are feeling better and more energetic, looking better, performing better. This week's challenge is for us to sleep better. 
We are challenged to get 7 hours of sleep in a 24 hour day. If we don't get 7 hours through the night, then we are encouraged to nap to make up the difference. In our busy, go, go, go, world, a nap can feel like an indulgence. But, it's not. 
Sleep is the MOST IMPORTANT recovery tool we have. It is only when we're sleeping that our bodies produce human growth hormone (HGH). This hormone is critical to repair our muscle tissues from cycling, hiking, running, CrossFit, life. Without your nightly dose of HGH you could not live for very long. Without your nightly dose of HGH you could not get leaner, stronger, faster, fitter. 
Here some sleep resources to help you improve your sleep.
