If you want to maintain muscle while dropping your body fat percentage, get your sleeping habits right! A 2010 study had 2 groups on the same calorie-deficit diet. One group sleeping 7.5 hours, and the other group slept 5 hours per night. The group sleeping 7.5 hours had 50% more muscle maintenance compared to the sleep-restricted group [1]. Another 2018 study compared sleeping 8 hours versus 6 hours per night, while in a calorie deficit. Both groups lost the same amount of weight, but the group sleeping 8 hours maintained muscle better [2]. Essentially, proper sleep is one of those foundational variables that enhances your results. At the same time, 1 or 2 bad nights will not break your progress. And even if you struggle with your sleep at the moment, you will still progress if you show up at the gym and control your nutrition. The progress will just be slower. 📚Scientific References (PMID): 1. 20921542 2. 29438540
