Let’s talk about something different from normal and consider how well you sleep.Many fitness conscious people have trouble getting enough sleep, or at least enough good quality sleep.
You’re body can get leaner as you sleep if you get the right amount of quality sleep time because of the effect on your hormones and metabolism.If you are not getting good amounts of healthy sleep, you could actually be putting on weight!
Although sleep disorders can play a part, the biggest reason people don’t sleep enough is because their minds won’t shut down.You lose a lot from lying in bed thinking about your day and about the problems you might have.Here are some helpful sleeping hints that might benefit you if you are having problems sleeping:
1. Avoid intense exercise for at least two hours before going to bed.Use exercise to your advantage by working out at other times of the day.
2. Eating before going to bed won’t make you fat, contrary to popular belief. Be sure to choose healthy foods to eat.
A small snack of 90 calories or so will eliminate hunger, helping you fall asleep faster.
3. Limit afternoon caffeine intake.
4.Mint or chamomile tea will help you relax, so drink some about an hour before you retire.This will have a calming effect on you that will benefit you.There’s a product called “bedtime tea” that has chamomile and mint tea in the same tea bag that seems to promote relaxation.
5. Nutmeg is also good to take before you go to sleep.You’ll get antioxidants and a calming effect from this.You should try making your own nutmeg capsules!
6. Clear your mind.This is one of the hardest things to do.One thing that might work for you is writing down all that is on your mind onto a piece of paper.This will help you get some relief from those persistent thoughts.
Visualizing yourself in a relaxing, pleasant setting is also helpful.People sleep better if they can take charge of their mind when it’s time to sleep.
