Schlaf – der unterschätzte Leistungsschlüssel
Schlaf ist kein Stillstand – es ist aktive Regeneration!In Tiefschlafphasen erholt sich dein Körper, im REM-Schlaf verarbeitet dein Gehirn Emotionen & Gelerntes.
Zu wenig Schlaf =- schlechterer Stoffwechsel- Heißhunger & Insulinresistenz- weniger Muskelaufbau, mehr Cortisol- mehr Entzündungen & Krankheitsrisiko
Dein Schlaf-Booster:-7–9 h Schlaf (Sportler:innen eher mehr)- Feste Schlafzeiten- Kein Koffein am Abend- Dunkel, kühl & ruhig schlafen- Komplexe KH am Abend (z. B. Porridge)
Powernap-Tipp:10–20 min mittags = Fokus, Energie & bessere Regeneration!
