I've been working out six days a week (Sundays are off-days) since late September, and I've managed to lose about 40 lbs. (I'm 6'3" and I was 377 when I started; I'm now about 339, with 100 more lbs. to go before I hit my target weight.)
I know that sleep is important to allow your body to rest and repair itself, but I've been reading that you really shouldn't take naps. On one hand, the advice from most health books is to wait until bedtime and try to get a decent eight hours sleep instead of "power napping." Yet on some days, especially when I've had a really rough leg or chest day, I can barely hold my eyes open after I get home from the gym.
Is my body sending me signals of fatigue that I should be listening to? Or should I just tough it out until 9 p.m. and hit the sack then?
