Sleep is one of the key factors in eliminating excess pounds, however unbelievable this may seem. It often happens that the most rigorous and effective weight loss programs fail, just because you have not slept enough. American scientists conducted a study and found a link between sleep time and body weight. If you sleep less than 8 hours, this increases the hormone levels responsible for hunger and suppresses the production of the hormone responsible for the satiety. According to other studies, if you do not sleep long enough, it will break your body's ability to digest carbohydrates to 42%.

Think how bad you feel when you are not sleepy: you are tired, lacking your concentration and energy, your mood is bad and you are hungry. If you're trying to lose extra pounds by lowering your calorie intake, a better decision would be to start sleeping in the evening. It's not easy to lose weight healthily, so we have to take every opportunity.

To improve the quality of your sleep, we can use these 5 easy steps (try for a month and see for yourself the difference):

  1. The room you are sleeping should be well ventilated.
  2. The mattress should not be too hard or soft.
  3. Take a short stroll before going to sleep for about 10-20 minutes or make a warm bath with aromatic oils (sea salt leg bath would also do the job)
  4. Sip your cup of soothing herbal teaspoon, thyme, oregano or mint tea. Have a nice relaxing music.
  5. Do not consume food 2 hours before bedtime.


You have probably heard the phrase "The rest brings the champion"
