\u201cIn your deep sleep, you have zero stress hormones. Your immune system\u2019s at its highest. You\u2019re repairing all the tissue damage. Your anabolic hormones are surging. Your catabolic hormones are getting processed. You\u2019re fighting off infections. You\u2019re digesting, your brain is improving, categorizing emotions, comparing and learning. Then you wake up, the most capable you\u2019re ever going to be. Once you\u2019re well-rested, that\u2019s when you\u2019re the best at everything.\u201d \u2013 Dr. Kirk Parsley
