While some of us think that sleep is a total waste of time and is only necessary so we do not collapse, this is a mistake.
Some of the latest researches inform us that sleeping less than six hours a day can cause diabetes.
The researchers seem to think that lack of sleep affects a certain hormone that is responsible for depressing the appetite.
What happens as a result of a diminished sleep is that the organism produces less of this hormone, hence - there is no stopping of our desire for food.
Bad sleeping habits would thus make you eat more, gain overweight and would increase the sugar level in your blood.
Once you begin eating in weird hours, your nutrition is in danger.
No diet would be able to restrain you.
Professionals suggest that one should sleep between six to eight hours a day.
Good healthy sleep would not only make you feel better, but will in fact do you better.
It is important to try and go to sleep at the same time, so your body would learn to function in a certain regime.
Also, prevent yourself from having large meals before rest time and know the health effects of caffeine.
Caffeine puts me to sleep actually better than anything, yet I try to consume it as less as possible.
You all know the heavy feeling in the stomach when eating just before bedtime.
Our body often times knows what's good and what's bad for us, all we have to do is listen to it.
What one can do before going to bed is a little exercise: I do not mean jogging for an hour, although it would of course be profitable, I mean spending about 20 minutes on stretching out and the like.
Try and make a habit of it and also of getting a good night rest; our body is also a kind of a machine - treat it well and it will serve you good.
Have a goodnight everybody!
