Maybe you're a beginner and you're still learning the ropes. What's most discouraging is setting goals and missing the mark... Setting goals is a good start so don't be discouraged!

Sleep is a NECESSITY. If you do everything right but you don't see results, it could possibly be due to a lack of sleep. If you intentionally set aside 6~8 hours of quality sleep, it will help in metabolism, health and even mental helps. Such as curbing appetite, cravings and even motivational issues.
Having sufficient sleep is key to losing weight and maintaining an overall healthy body system.
