Isn't sleep important for recovery?

Very important 👌🏼

Recovery in turn is necessary for growth or it could be said that recovery essentially is compensatory repair of damage caused to tissues by a workout. Growth of muscle mass and performance are results of supercompensation. Recovery takes place during rest. If someone following a training program is suffering from serious and regular sleeping problems then those problems should be addressed first. Otherwise progress might be compromised as there could be too much training relative to effective rest. To know how much is too much is, however, beyond my knowledge. Is it possible that Jaro's sleeping problems might be to some degree a result of his current training regimen or is the current regimen, in fact, helping Jaro to get sleep? Sometimes, if you train too hard it could make you sleep worse. Maybe you guys need to discuss this in more detail. Maybe this is not the case at all but maybe the possibility should be taken into consideration.

Jaro, do you have prior experience in any kind of sports physical training?
