If you don't think sleep is much of a player in your health and your performance think again. Sleep is, as far as I'm concerned, one of the 4 most influential factors when considering health and performance. The other two being exercise and nutrition.

But wait Coach! That's only 3 factors. What's the 4th? The 4th is stress, which is a culmination of a magnitude of factors. Of this magnitude I feel that sleep, nutrition and exercise are several of the most important. Though I didn't necessarily list them in order of importance here I do feel that sleep may very well be at the top of this brief list.

Below is a great article by my good friend Robb Wolf on the subject. Note that it is definitely worth your time to click on and read the link contained within the first paragraph of the article title "BBC piece on sleep".
