Lack of sleep can lead people to eat lots and cause obesity. Organize a good sleep pattern will result in weight loss and vibrant health.
"Lack of sleep triggers the production of ghrelin hormone that stimulates appetite. This can cause the body to take up to 300 calories more a day than when the body ckup sleep," said dr. Oz, a doctor who guide the TV show "The Dr. Oz Show".
Research published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that people who sleep less, which is only about 5.5 hours of sleep per night, consuming far more calories and snacking throughout the day rather than the hours sleep is enough, ie 8.5 hours per night.
In addition, people who sleep less tend to rarely eat vegetables. The sleepy hungry people tend to eat more carbohydrates and eat a little protein and fat.
Here's how to sleep well for weight loss as reported mnn.com, Friday (07/06/2012):
A. Plan to extend the hours of sleep
Complete daily tasks more before beginning to have more time to sleep. According to dr. Oz, if you can add an hour of sleep, can reduce an average of about 6.35 kg per year.
2. Remind yourself when it's time to sleep
The body can not always control when it's time to wake up. But we can sure start sleeping at the right time and get a good night's sleep. All it takes is setting the alarm to remind you when to sleep, not just the time to wake up in the morning
Depending on when it's time to wake up, subtract 7.5 hours of time to determine when to wake up from sleep. It would be better if you add one hour earlier so there is time to get ready for bed.
3. Taking supplements to calm
Try taking supplements of calcium and magnesium that help calm the nervous system, as well as acting as a natural sleep aide. Safe dose is 600 milligrams of calcium and 400 milligrams of magnesium.
4. Turn off lights
The best sleep environment is dark, quiet and cool. Be sure to install curtains or an eye mask to block light that can be made to stay awake.
If you can, turn off all electronic devices that emit light from the bedroom, such as TVs and computers. Darkness helps stimulate the body's production of melatonin, a hormone that causes drowsiness.
5. Relaxation
Stress can disrupt the rest. Getting rid of stress can help sleep by practicing relaxation techniques that calm, such as deep breathing, meditation or progressive muscle relaxation exercises.
Try listening to soothing music or a warm bath before bed. When you're relaxed, your heart rate and breathing slow down, prepare the body to go into natural sleep.
