A Heathy Habit-Get Some Sleep!

Today, society puts such an emphasis on being active and staying in shape. People think they can only loose weight while moving. This is actually untrue. Sleep is actually a very healthy way to loose weight. There will not be rapid weight loss, but studies have shown that women who sleep less than seven hours per night weigh about five punds more than the women that get more than seven hours of sleep each night. People usually think they are not gaining anything beneficial by sleeping but this is not true. While sleeping, the whole body is able to relax. The muscles, joints, body, and mind are able to get rest. Getting more sleep, and making sure the body is well rested will enable the body to function better. In some cases, people are able to function properly without the appropriate amount of sleep. However, the lack of sleep will catch up with these people eventually. Ways to ensure a good night sleep are simple. Go to bed earlier. If it is going to be an early morning, count back and make sure at least seven hours are going to be spent asleep. If a good nights sleep is accomplished, it makes it easier to wake up and feel well-rested rather than drowsy. If trouble getting to sleep is the problem, exercise. Exercising will make the body tired, and in need of rest. There is nothing like a good nights sleep after a work out. Studies show that women who get more sleep have a higher metabolism. This means eating more with less weight gain! There is nothing wrong with that! Many helpful hints are on this blog. Check it out! http://www.fitsugar.com/2750195
