  2. From She-fit.com Thought it was good for you!!

    "Thinking of hitting the snooze button and working out later?
    You might just want to do so.
    Lack of sleep has been linking to weight gain.
    Research has shown that those who received less than seven and a half hours of sleep a night were more likely to gain weight. Those in the study who got an average of seven and a half hours of sleep lost up to 50 lbs over ten weeks without changing their diet.

    What is that sleep/weight connection?
    The hormones that control appetite, cravings, and metabolism of fat go haywire when there is a lack of sleep. There is an increase in ghrelin that make you want to eat more and then there is a decrease in leptin, which usually would trigger the brain to stop eating when you are full.
    What a deadly combination!
    Not only are you hungry and never full, but the body starts craving the junk foods because simple carbohydrates such as chocolate, crackers, and pastries can break down faster for quick energy.
    … those tempting snacks just start calling your name!

    One would think that sleeping more would be easy to lose weight… but that just not the case for some people. There is always something to do. It takes work to put down the papers or turn off the TV and hit the bed.
    Here are just a few tips to get more sleep:
    * Go to bed and wake up at the same time each day
    * Keep a routine before sleeping so you can fall asleep quicker like bathing, reading, or meditating
    * Limit your caffeine after noon and watch your alcohol intake a few hours before bedtime
    * Only use your bed and or bedroom for sleeping purposes and not for work / studying / reading

    people-woman-sleep-alarm-clockSo are you up for the challenge?
    I challenge you to get at least seven and a half hours of sleep each night for the rest of this week!
    Let me know how you feel at the end… you might be surprised at how well you eat and feel."
