Vary your training methods periodically.

Only go if you are willing to train. Basketball courts are better suited to hanging out and talking shit about how many fights you had, and how many women you screwed. No one believes you anyway, pencil neck.

yeah id say sleep is pretty important and is often overlooked. lately ive been getting 10-12hrs/night and never felt better

[tomsammce]

yeah id say sleep is pretty important and is often overlooked. lately ive been getting 10-12hrs/night and never felt better

how unproductive.

Or he could be more alert and energised while he's awake and end up being more productive than if he was sleeping less... it can works both ways. For me I would feel like I was wasting the day, but if it's a toss up between 5-6 hours sleep and being a zombie all day, or 10-12 and feeling great and being productive, I know which I'd choose.

[hhhh1]

I get up at 6am every day. was going to bed at 10-12 at night, but I was pretty much just fuckng around from 6pm onwards. now i usually just go to sleep around 8 instead of wasting my time on the internet/playing games/watchng movies, so not really any less productive, and yeah i do feel better during the day and probably get more uni work done
