January is traditionally the time people start a new weight loss or getting healthy campaign so it's a good time to draw attention to the fact that lack of sleep undermines the body's ability to function properly which includes successful weight loss.Sleep is an essential part of the healthy working of the immune system and lack of sleep affects the hormones that regulate it. Insulin regulates blood sugar levels and high levels of Cortisol can contribute to a gathering of abdominal fat. It also affects the hormones, Leptin and Ghrelin which control appetite.
A good nights' sleep for an adult is between seven and eight hours and getting to sleep before midnight is worth two hours sleep after midnight so the aim to be in bed by eleven. A representative from Trusted suggested these small changes to a night time regime:
• Make sure all the essential chores have been done before bedtime. If that's not possible write a list for tomorrow.
• Moving about helps but doing something low intensity like yoga or stretching is best.
• Keep the bedroom dark, the sleep inducing hormone Melatonin starts being produced at night but bright lights affect the production levels.
• Listening to a meditation CD is calming and helps clear the mind. Make that the last thing the last thing on the list to do before turning in. Trusted Minerals have a free relaxation meditation CD that can be downloaded.
• Anyone hungry before bed should eat a banana, a handful of peanuts, oatcakes or yogurt instead of something sugary like chocolate, cookies or alcohol. A nightcap of chamomile tea or warm milk is also good.
• Sleeping pills are another option and a natural sleeping pill can help without having any of the side effects. Look out for one with added Melatonin.
Quality sleep is positive influence in any weight loss regime, the natural hormones are needed to balance the immune system, which in turn gets the appetite signalling system back under control and reduces the likelihood of fat gathering around the stomach.
