Exercise and Sleep

Exercise leads to the production of ATP, which breaks down into adenosine, a compound that promotes sleepiness. Caffeine can block adenosine receptors, keeping you alert and awake. The relationship between caloric expenditure and sleep needs suggests that higher energy output requires more rest. Overall, daily macronutrient intake is more crucial than timing when it comes to fueling for exercise.
