Your body is not sleeping, cells are continually dividing and dying regardless whether you're at rest or not.. you don't just grow at night, you grow constantly. metabolic rate slows down and activity is reduced during sleep. The mind controls the body thats true but nutrition outweighs rest for sure.. there is no argument there.
Yes, I ignored most of what you said. We are not dolphins or whales, what works for them is not going to work for us. You sound like you read most of that in a book. Post one of your training logs for all to see, if you train hard and heavy, you would know you needed sleep to recover. Personally, the order of importance is workout, sleep, nutrition.

nutritoin #1
rest #2
if you had to choose between eating an extra 2000 calories in the day.. or getting 2 hours of sleep, the 2000 calories would be more beneficial towards your workout.

im on a special routine right now trying something new.. it goes like this
full body 3 times a week
1:15 minute rest breaks
4 sets per muscle group
this is phase 4 right now
phase 1 was 15 reps 3 sets 30 sec break
phase 2 was 12 reps 3 sets 45 sec break
phase 3 was 10 reps 3 sets 1 minute break
each phase at least 2 or 3 weeks.
right now im at muscle building. noticing some slight weight gains, endurance gains through the roof and strength gains increasing.
height 5'11 145 lbs
max bench : 205 lbs (last time i tried)
max squat : 185 (last time i tried)
max lat pull ups 33 reps (last time i tried)
max dips (+115 lbs) 5 reps

Just as I thought. You train too light, there is nothing for you to recover from. Check out www.westside-barbell.com to learn about strength and size. Finish that program and then try this...Email me if you want pointers. Tons of videos on youtube too.

at least we have opted to live a healthier life than drinking every day and like that...
not that it's bad, but being healthy feels so much cooler

Extended my long run to 25,5k today. A major part of it went over small, unpaved forest roads.. Great place to run. It went pretty smooth until the 2 hour mark, then I started to feel yesterdays 11k run (which I thought wasn't that hard).
Next week I'm doing a 20k race, the week after that another 25+k long run. Looking forward to it already.

As a pro athlete I can say that i'm in pretty damn wicked shape year round and I have never seen anyone get up to 33 pull ups. Thats ridiculous. I don't see what kind of strength gains you're after!
