A member asked:
Can you build muscle if your sleeping between 5-6 hours, excersie and diet perfectly?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The 'right' amount of sleep varies between individuals. If 6 hours is what works for you, that is OK. If you are exercising properly and eating a healthy diet there is no reason you shouldn't be able to add muscle mass.
