Dash For Power

If you are tossing and turning at 3 AM, you are reducing the quality and length of your life.

Your ability to perform or feel at your best in the morning and through the day rquires that you had 8 hours of blissful sleep. If you are not getting your 8 hours ZZ`s, and if you carry that from day to day you are shortening your life, and the quality of your life. Researchers at the University of California at San diego monitored 135 healthy men overnight and then collected and analzyed their blood. The results show that interrupted sleep may harm your heart by increasing clot-promoting proteins. Such men may have a higher risk of heart attack, says Joel Dimsdale, M.D., the lead author. To allow a deeper sleep, limit the carbs you eat before bedtime, or your blood-sugar and insulin levels will drop dramatically at night, at which point your body will detect the changes, and then awakens to seek more food.

Once again, you did it to yourself, and now your body feels the need to eat, which cuts into your sleep and creating melatonin levels for tomorrow, leaving you groggy, cranky, and distracted. Eat healthy in the morning, have your carbs cereal with a pail of healthy foods in the morning. But cut it off by evening, you`ve had your nutrients and liquids by then, Ben. You too, gwen.

Turn the lights down after 7-8, lights out by 10, no TV in your bedroom, you need 8 hours of sleep, Jeep. Not a creature stirs in your house, not even your mouse.
