The notion is to "auto" regulate. That means only you can answer it.

I'd seek out a way to improve your sleep, perhaps by setting aside more time to sleep or using a sleep aid.

Lastly, I think you're probably overthinking this. I can't think of any bodybuilder who was determined overall who would bat an eye at what to do when / if he has was just an hour shy of a full nights sleep.

If you were at the emergency room and got 2 hr of crappy sleep, then taking the day off would definitely be a reasonable solution, or perhaps if you chronically only get 4hr sleep and on one particular day you are just totally beat it would make sense to drop down a Tier.

I'm not you and perhaps that one hour of missed sleep is entirely disruptive, my perspective, as someone who's gone years training in the middle of the night or at 4AM, which chronically sleep deprived, b/c it was this or nothing is that an hour of missed sleep here and there is just a common inconvenience of life and can easily be made up the next night or even with a nap later that day if one's crafty about it.

Yes you are right. Definitely overthinking it, as that is something I tend to do, and just need to suck it up and train hard. Ended up doing my loading session yesterday and PR'd almost every exercise I did lol. I do notice a difference in my recovery with less sleep obviously, but overanalyzing it definitely does not help and it's not a substantial difference. Will continue to work on it, but your right in that I should not let it disrupt my training and progression.

Thanks guys!
