I'm curious and rather bored, wondering if anyone has any articles on how hypertrophy occurs during sleep/phases it goes through?
I just wonder because alot of times I get 8 - 10 hours of sleep but I'll wake up 2-3 times during the night and I'm curious would this hurt my gains if I was still getting a full nights sleep in terms of time?
And well I'm just bored

No... Hypertrophy and protein anabolism is an ongoing process which is why you need to spread protein intake throughout the day.

The largest amounts of growth hormone are released at night, and this is a period when muscle repair is in full swing. If you can get uninterrupted sleep it would be best, but there shouldn't be a huge difference for your gains if you cannot manage.

tissue creation is 24/7

Wasn't disagreeing with you at all. (didn't even read the earlier responses prior to typing out my incredibly helpful answer.)Originally posted by Melkor

Try gong to bed just a little earlier, champ. I found I did MUCH better on 8, even though I don't feel like I need 8. My workouts and cardio was better with a little extra, too.Originally posted by kyle0k

I can get by for weeks on 5/night, but I feel so much better on 7-8 hours sleep.

Hehe I was just curious as to what the body does once you rest in order to recover as it goes through the REM cycle does it do different things in recovery or does it just constantly repair tissue?
Wasn't really sure and was looking for a good read since I was bored

Ok, technically speaking, my muscles are growing even as I'm staring at the screen and punching the keyboard?

In theory, yes. If your diet is right, yes. If you're in a positive nitrogen balance, have successfully overloaded your muscles, and have adequate calories for tissue creation.... yes.Originally posted by zxcager
