Gym supplements could be doing more harm than good when it comes to sleep. A new study from the University of Toronto found that pre-workout supplements that claim to boost energy may actually be linked to reduced sleep among teens and young adults. The study determined that gymgoers who used pre-workout supplements were more than twice as likely to sleep five hours or less per night than those who did not. One reason is that a single serving of a pre-workout supplement can contain several times more caffeine than a cup of coffee. (Similar to “metabolism boosting” energy drinks which are marketed as workout aids.) Still, as Gen Z and Millennials lean into self-optimization trends, they are increasingly incorporating personalized supplements in their self-care and fitness routines. (The Independent)
