Is it okay to workout when you slept only for 3 hours in the night? What kind of exercises are okay to do?
Don't risk it, already you are sacrificng sleep. Everything will seem fine for a few years if you are relatively healthy now. It will come back to haunt you after a few years and the repercussions are simply not worth it.
Focus on getting a better sleep routine first, and then start with exercises.
Thanks, got this. I try to get enough sleep but if there are 1-2 days when you are low on sleep, do you still work out?
The comments in this post show that the only resistance training they've done is pushing keys on the keyboard.
As someone who actually works out, yes you can.
But don't push hard, reduce # of sets/weights. Or if you push, you'll get sleepy soon after or sleep extra like 9 hrs the same night. By push I mean training heavy / to failure.
If it's a one off incident, separate story But if you intend to do this regularly, you'd be fatigued very soon. Never force yourself this way..the body needs ample rest to recover. Heavy weight training exercises burn calories till 24 hrs post workout. (Multiple certified trainers have told me so) And dont ever underestimate the importance of a sound 6-8 hr sleep at night, at reasonable sleep time (not 3am) Working out when underslept can lead to injuries as well (have seen friends suffer due to this)
There are odd days when you are out with friends and low on sleep. The next day do you still work out or not? Not advocating less sleep as a regular feature - workout or not.
I never work out with 4-5 hr sleep. If possible, I shift the workout to evening, or compensate on another day..but I try to maintain a 5-6 days per week average

Ideally you're doing your job because you love it, but that doesn't mean you're never overwhelmed or stressed out. When the pressure of your job pushes your stress needle into the red zone, what do you do to relax and compose yourself?
