The Mattress Skinny
May 11th, 2012
Did you know that research says that if you want to lose weight, you need to get more sleep!
Eating right, and exercising are the obvious go-to fat busters, but what many people don’t know is that not getting enough sleep could affect a hormone called ghrelin, known to affect appetite and weight.
Here are a few sleep tips to help you sleep your way into healthy:
- Don’t have a big meal right before crawling into bed- but don’t go to bed hungry either!
- Exercise regularly, but not right before bed.
- Avoid caffeine.
- Don’t nap during the day.
- Create a comfortable sleep environment.
Sweet dreaming!
