You will become a better you!

Sleep is your bodies time to recover, heal and grow.

Sleep is the time in which your body gets to perform its routine maintenance and as well set up its endocrine system up for the next day. As you sleep the brain is working hard to ingrain memories (“memory consolidation”) stabilize your moods and even remove and eliminate of toxic cellular waste. During the night (or normal sleep time, the brain waves and its electrical currents surging through millions of neurons accomplish the body restoration and building.

One reason is the body produces extra protein molecules during sleep. These help mend and repair the body at a cellular level as it is repairing damage caused by stress, pollutants, infection, over exposure to the sun and even free radical damage caused by poor diet and other factors.

Here is a short list of health issues in regard to sleep:

• Body Repair: The body does all building, detox and cellular repair during sleep.
• Improves Heart Health: Releases heart and cardiovascular pressure.
• Stress and Inflammation: Lowers blood pressure and cholesterol levels normalized.
• Hormonal Benefits: Elevated levels of stress hormones reduced.
• Aging: The wear and tear on your body, (aging and degeneration of organs, cells and other body parts) reverse.
• Improved Immune Functionality: During sleep the body releases potent immune-enhancing substances.
• Sleep Improves Memory: During sleep the brain processes, organizes, and correlates from the day.
• Improves Mental Focus: Increasing alertness and concentration, increasing the ability to gain new skills and knowledge.
• Emotional Balance: Deep sleep reduces emotional moodiness, irritability, and other unhealthy qualities.
• Weight Control: During sleep hormones are regulated controlling appetite and cravings.

Nutrition

Regulating blood sugar levels throughout the night is a vital concept, hidden and high sugar foods disrupt sleep and especially hormonal balance that helps rebuild the body. Consequently the body undergoes less stress reduction and releases cortisol and other fat building compounds.

Lack of Proper Sleep Time

Without proper sleep our bodies maintain the prior stresses and build yet more. As our stress response builds and becomes more and more overwhelmed, it becomes more and more difficult to function normally (causing yet more stress).

Other Measures For Great Sleep

• Massage
• Acupressure

• Light Exercise
• Dark Room
• Stop TV, Phone and Computer 30 minutes prior
• Wind down

Besides all weight loss occurring while you sleep, when you are well rested, you will have greater energy, focus and be so much more productive... which in turn makes you happier, healthier and far more satisfied with your life.

Goodnight All.
