Sleep Yourself Skinny
An uncomfortable, old, or worn-out mattress can keep you tossing and turning all night. This does more than just make you tired the next day: it can prevent you from reaching the deep, restorative levels of sleep your body needs to bounce back from strain. It makes sense that physical exertion, like a new exercise program, would require more sleep, but did you know that weight loss itself can impact your need for rest?
Set Yourself Up For Success
While 40% of Americans get only about six hours of sleep (or less!), running on empty can actually cause weight gain. This happens both because of the lack of restorative sleep, and because lack of sleep affects your brain. That’s right, it’s been scientifically shown that when you’re underslept, you feel hungrier, lack willpower, lack focus, and crave more caloric foods.
