“In your deep sleep, you have zero stress hormones. Your immune system’s at its highest. You’re repairing all the tissue damage. Your anabolic hormones are surging. Your catabolic hormones are getting processed. You’re fighting off infections. You’re digesting, your brain is improving, categorizing emotions, comparing and learning. Then you wake up, the most capable you’re ever going to be. Once you’re well-rested, that’s when you’re the best at everything.” – Dr. Kirk Parsley
