To Avoid Gaining weight and To Look Your Absolute Best- Sleep At Least 7 Hours a Night

The whole “beauty rest” thing is TRUE.

When we’re sleep-deprived, our production of ghrelin (a hunger-promoting hormone) significantly increases, and we burn calories 20% slower than those who sleep on average seven hours a night.  

The negative effects of not getting enough sleep

 1. Eat 1 cup of fruit an hour before bedtime. The natural sugar in fruit- (fructose) increases the production of calming brain chemicals, making you feel sleepy in as little as 20 minutes. Hmmm... Wine comes from grapes, and grapes are a fruit...( See where I'm going with that? CHEERS!) 

 

2. Stretch for at least 10 minutes before bed. Stretching will help built-up release tension and calm any anxious thoughts. 

 

3. Wear comfy PJs. Wearing sleepwear that is too tight traps body heat slowing down the brain's production of melatonin. 

 

4. Give yourself a five-minute calf massage, and it'll stimulate nerves in the legs that soothe the adrenal glands and lower cortisol levels that interfere with sleep. 

 

5. Burn a lavender candle or put lavender potpourri in your bedroom. The scent of lavender will relax you in less than 10 minutes.
