Adolescents and young adults are sleeping less than the recommended 7 to 10 hours per night. Getting adequate sleep is critical for our bodies to maintain basic health processes, and it is especially necessary for teenage and young adult development. A recent study discovered a link between poor sleep and indications of muscle dysmorphia, a growing trend among young people. Poor sleep among those who experience muscle dysmorphia symptoms is concerning as it may exacerbate the functional and social impairment these individuals commonly report, as well as increase suicidal thoughts and behaviours These products tend to have high levels of caffeine or other stimulants, which may negatively impact sleep. some sleep may be displaced by physical activity, as an individual engages in muscle-building exercise during the evening hours to not interfere with occupational responsibilities Individuals experiencing symptoms of muscle dysmorphia may be more likely to use and consume dietary supplements that are marketed for improving workouts, increasing muscle mass, and accelerating muscle recovery
