Thread: Sleep dynamics & Testosterone

Hi! I'm new and have two questions about sleep.

”33 hours awake resulted in a 27% drop in testosterone”.

1. If we’re in a situation like that and we still hit the gym with caffeine just before eating & falling asleep, will it be useless?

2. If we sleep for 18 hours right after that, is it better than waking up to eat after say 9 hours? I've heard there's a lot of hormones during REM and that might counter the protein loss provided we spend the rest of the 48h focusing on eating.

This isn't sustainable but for when these situations arise it would be nice to know what to do.
