Here are five reasons why sleep is pivotal to your success.

• Sleep helps to restore hormonal levels, which can help reduce of hunger you feel on a day to day basis, while reducing cortisol levels, which encourage stomach fat accumulation
• Sleep is when you repair your muscle tissues, so you can recover more quickly from each workout you do
