A person on a diet must get enough sleep.
Lack of sleep can increase levels of the hunger hormone.
The result will be a constant desire to eat. In such conditions, it will be very difficult not to "break down".
Therefore, if you want to lose weight, sleep at least 7 hours a day. And 8 hours is better.
But it is not only the duration that is important, but also the time when sleep begins.
What time should you go to bed on a diet
Are you a night owl? Do you tend to be most active in the evening? Do you not need to wake up early in the morning to an alarm clock?
Even in these cases, try not to go to bed too late!
A person who is on a diet and wants to get rid of excess weight without any problems should go to bed before 00:00.
The fact is that starting your night's rest later is fraught with loss of synchronization with the circadian rhythm.
It is desirable that most of the sleep falls on the dark time of day. A person who sleeps long in the morning may complain of poor quality sleep and the resulting slowdown in weight loss.
And this is explained simply: at night, the level of melatonin increases, and after sunrise, the level of serotonin increases. In the first case, a person sleeps normally, in the second, problems arise.
Earlier we told you what you need to do after dinner to speed up the weight loss process.
