Sooooo sleepy ZZZZ

Do you find yourself sleeping on the job? Making poor food choices all day long? And just feeling plain tired? Well, you're not alone! Seems so many of us are forgetting this one key component to weight loss....SLEEP!! Yes, you have to sleep to lose weight, just like you have to exercise. WHY? Because sleep effects the brain in all kinds of crazy ways, causing you to overeat and gain weight, not to mention a slew of other things, take a look:

Insufficient sleep can result in -

• Drops in Performance
• Lack of Concentration
• Reduced Reaction Times
• Problems in Grouping Learned Information
• Lapses in Memory
• Accidents and Injuries
• Behavioral Problems and Mood Swings

So if you're trying to live a healthy and active B-FIT4U lifestyle, you have to get those ZZZZZ's.  Great ways to get yourself relaxed and ready for that good night's rest are:

 

Make your bedroom a haven with comfy pillows and blankets

Avoid excess lighting, dim that lamp

Exercise regularly to calm both body and mind

Avoid late night eating

Wear an eye mask

Buy a "white noise" machine to drift you off to sleep

Drink a warm beverage

Keep to a schedule (10 or 11pm, lights off)

 

AND tomorrow you will make better food choices because you will be more aware and awake to do so, and food won't be a clutch for a nap! Goodnight!~FoodieGIRL
