Title: bodybuilding full body rest vs adequate water intake and its effects
Post by: NaturalWonder83 on December 06, 2008, 04:45:45 AM: we as bodybuilders follow certain rules...lots of protein, eat every 2-3hours, drink at least a gallon a day of water, and get around 7-8hours of sleep per night.

now lets say u get a lot of water in every day...like 2 gallons...well of course u will get up to use the bathroom at night.

and i always worry my sleep is being disturbed.

ill be asleep for like 5-6 hours then wake up for the bathroom.
now when i wake up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night i will feel very tired but i notice my body feels very loose and very relaxed.

so my question is despite missing out on solid sleep...do u think the body truly needs to wake up after 6 hours so nothing bad happens to you and your organs blood circulation and other vitals stay fresh and active?

living like a monk for bodybuilding aint going to change anything about it. it only deprives you from the better things life has to offer.

Post by: JasonH on December 06, 2008, 06:19:41 AM: I tend to only drink about a gallon of water a day - sometimes slightly less. But I stop drinking water around two hours before I go to bed and my last liquid meal of the night is a whey protein/casein powder mixed with milk. Therefore I get some slow release protein running through my system all night while I'm asleep and less likely to wake up in the night needing a piss.
