A client who is training with you to improve his body composition states that he only sleeps 4 or 5 hours a night because he thinks that any more is a waste of time. How might you respond to him in view of his body composition goals?
a. Explain that as long as he spends the extra hours engaged in physical activity, he should be able to meet his body composition goals.
b. Express understanding that he has a busy schedule and that sleep may not be a priority, and explain that this should not affect his body composition goals, as sleep and weight are unrelated.
c. Explain that adequate sleep is important in regulating hunger and satiety hormones, and that chronic sleep deprivation is detrimental for weight management.
d. Explain that 4 or 5 hours may not be enough for his requirements and that he should aim for 6 to 7 hours per day.
