Reducing the calorie content of the diet is far from the only action that a person who wants to lose weight must take.
There are other rules to follow, too. For example, exercise and go for walks more often.
Proper sleep is also important. Lack of sleep will clearly not contribute to weight loss.
The fact is that a lack of night rest leads to problems associated with metabolism and hormone production.
However, if you follow four simple sleep rules, the weight loss process will not slow down.
Don't go to bed late
During the diet, eight hours of sleep is mandatory.
If a person losing weight sleeps significantly less than 8 hours, the process of getting rid of excess weight will be delayed.
Sleep at night
Nighttime sleep is what promotes normal melatonin production.
Therefore, sleep only during the dark hours of the day (if, of course, such an opportunity exists).
Curtain the windows and don't turn on the night light.
The room in which you sleep should be dark.
Give up the habit of sleeping with a desk lamp on. Be sure to close the curtains before going to bed so that the light from street lamps does not interfere.
Ignoring this recommendation can result in the destruction of melatonin, lack of sleep, and a slowdown in the weight loss process.
Peaceful sleep
Restless sleep prevents people who are trying to lose weight from achieving their goals.
Night rest should be as calm as possible: avoid stress before night rest (don’t quarrel with your family, don’t think about work, etc.).
Also, don't spend too much time in front of the TV or computer before going to bed: this habit also doesn't promote restful sleep.
Previously, myths about breakfast were listed that have long since ceased to correspond to reality.
