As a personal trainer in Brighton and Hove – and online – I often talk to clients about training, nutrition, and motivation. But one thing that’s just as important, and often overlooked, is sleep.
If you're aiming to lose body fat, improve your fitness, or simply feel better day-to-day, the amount and quality of your sleep can have a huge impact.
Sleep and Fat Loss
When you don’t get enough sleep, it affects the hormones that control hunger – ghrelin and leptin. Ghrelin increases, making you feel hungrier, while leptin decreases, meaning you don’t feel as full. This leads to more cravings, especially for sugary or processed foods.
Sleep also affects insulin sensitivity, which plays a big role in how your body stores fat – especially around your midsection. Without enough rest, your fat loss efforts can hit a wall.
Sleep and General Health
Getting proper rest helps with:
Immune system function
Mental clarity and focus
Muscle recovery after training
Stress levels and mood
Whether you’re training with me in the gym, outdoors, or online, your body needs sleep to recover, grow, and perform at its best.
How to Improve Your Sleep
Here are a few habits that can help:
Stick to a regular sleep schedule, even on weekends
Avoid screens 30–60 minutes before bed
Keep your bedroom cool, dark, and quiet
Cut back on caffeine after midday
Keep active – regular exercise helps promote better sleep
Final Thoughts
If fat loss, fitness and health are your goals, then sleep is essential. It’s not just about what you do in your workouts – it’s what you do outside the sessions too. I help my clients focus on the full picture: training, nutrition, mindset, and lifestyle.
If you want support with your fat loss, fitness, and healthy habits, I offer one-to-one and shared sessions in Brighton and Hove – or online wherever you are.
