Do you get your 8 hours?


People who don't get enough sleep regularly seem to have high levels of a hormone called ghrelin (which causes hunger) and low levels of a hormone called leptin (which normally helps curb hunger).

Solution: Strive to get 8 hours of sleep ideally from 10pm - 6am (hours of our natural sleep rhythms) EVERY DAY. As an experiment, try this for 14 days and take note (in a journal to really cite the results) of the affect to your energy levels, stress levels, hunger patterns and weight - you'll be pleasantly surprised. At the end of the 14 days, share with me how your "sleep experiment" went for you.
