From my experience, sleep is way more important than people give it credit for. A couple years ago I was training hard but constantly tired, and my lifts stalled even though my diet was on point. Once I made it a priority to get at least 7–8 hours consistently, my strength started climbing again and I felt less sore between sessions. I’ve read some broader health and lifestyle pieces on

But honestly, recovery habits like sleep, stress management, and deload weeks had a bigger impact on my physique than any supplement ever did. Training breaks you down — sleep is when you actually build back up.
