Hey, I had an idea

You know how when you sleep your metabolism slows down? Well, like on the CKD how M and T you lift, but you aren't hoping to "build" muscle, just maintain it? Would it be BENEFICIAL or DETRIMENTAL to sleep less? I usually get ~7 or 8 hours, what about if I only got 6? Then wake up and run before I get ready for school? Good or bad thought!!??

Sleep time is when your body builds and repairs itself. I think cutting sleep could only be a bad choice.
