Why is sleep so important for recovery?

Hi everyone, I’ve been reading more about how sleep affects overall health and recovery. Many people focus on workouts and nutrition, but it seems like sleep plays an equally important role in helping the body repair and recharge.

From what I’ve learned, the importance of sleep in recovery is connected to things like muscle repair, hormone balance, and mental recovery after a long day.

I’m curious if anyone here has noticed better recovery or energy levels after improving their sleep routine. What changes helped you get more consistent and restorative sleep?
