Why is sleep so important to you????
Most people have trouble waking up in the morning. I known my wife does, how about you? The whole problem begins with not getting enough sleep. On average, most people get an hour too little sleep on average.
In addition to diet and exercise, sleep is on of the most important components of a long healthful life. If you get to little sleep, you eat more just to stay awake. Plus, studies show that lack of sleep also can and will slow your metabolism, preventing your body from using glucose effectively. Were talking about your blood sugar.
Lack of sleep also affects the level of leptin. Your may be wondering what this is? It’s a very important hormone that makes you feel full. When levels are low, you crave sweets such as candy, desserts, and other unhealthy starches.
The worst effects of sleep deprivation have to do with growth hormone levels. Growth hormone levels affect your body’s proportion of fat to muscle as well as repairs muscles while you sleep. If you don’t get enough sleep at night, your daily exercise session will feel harder than it should. You will have a harder time building muscle and keeping fat at bay.
You have to promise yourself that you will start going to bed earlier. It will help you wake up earlier and lose weight faster. It’s that important to you.
