The famous not so famous words of Jean-Luc Picard - as Locutous of Borg happen to be some of the best words for those of us desiring to look phit and phab!
But why?
Well, sleep helps you keep looking good for all kinds of reasons. It keeps you functioning well because your body really does need the sleep the doctors have been telling you about. But for weight loss (or looking phab) it's just straight out because you NEED the ENERGY.
Any normal person when they've had enough rest has a bit of jitter in them (normal jittering - not caffeine induced). However, when you don't have enough sleep, you don't move. You spend all day essentially conserving energy because you're tired. When you have enough sleep THEN your body uses up your energy. Very cool, isn't it? (yes, scientific study showed this).
Another reason for sleep is the energy you have to work out with. You know it - if you don't have the right rest - you don't hit your workout full force. And you also know that there's a BIG difference between hitting that workout with enthusiasm and vigor rather than just dragging your butt into whatever workout you're going to do.
So, even if you take no other advice from a Borg, take this advice. SLEEP.
