How to Lose Weight Sleeping - 5 Easy Steps
It is a well known fact that sleep deprivation inhibits the rate at which we burn fat as being fatigued slows down your metabolism so the following 5 steps are important for those wanting to shed extra weight while sleeping:
1. Avoid eating before sleep
Avoid eating at least 3 hours before you go to bed, this way you won't experience any unwanted indigestion, bloating or heart burn prior to trying to get to sleep which will reduce your night's sleep and obviously avoid caffeine too.
2. Build up a regular relaxation ritual
Getting into a winding down pattern each evening is the best way for your body to adjust naturally each night so after a while you'll be able to nod off in an instant when you hit the sack.
Dim the lights, exchange a white light bulb for a red one, avoid a TV or computer screen in the final hour before wanting to sleep, take a relaxing bath or practice some evening meditation to clear the mind and having some lavender oil burning in the background will induce melatonin levels meaning you will begin to feel tired sooner.
3. Stop working before sleep
Stop working at least 2 hours before sleep or try and avoid using too much mental strength right up until the moment you would like to rest.
That said some people like reading under a soothing readers lamp to help them sleep and others simply do work till they drop so each to their own on this step.
4. Go to sleep the same time each night
Build up a routine by picking the hour of the evening that you'd like to go to bed.
Ideally as research demonstrates is that we need up to 7 to 8 hours of sleep each night so our body's muscle and liver metabolism is functioning at optimal rate the following day.
Our body's are aware when we deprive ourselves of sleep, so like a bank we go into overdraft meaning that when we do finally get a good night's sleep we make up for the time lost.
5. Consider using a weight loss path
Like nicotine patches, weight loss patches use the method of transdermal nutrient release, allowing your body to absorb the body slimming nutrients such as phytosterols and dietary fibers along with magnesium, potassium, calcium, copper, zinc and mono-unsaturated fats.
Placed inside of the wrist, behind the arch of the foot, on the back of your shoulder and a few other hairless parts of the body, they increase your energy expenditure, improve your digestive system and cardiovascular health and regenerate muscle cells.
