In today’s go-go and do everything world we may not
only be fat but also tired.

How many times have you heard news reports of
people falling asleep while driving and causing wrecks?

Adults need to sleep 6-8 hours a day to stay healthy
and function properly.

The idea that we don’t sleep enough seems to be
everywhere but people don’t listen. Some how we
are missing the message.

There are four things the body needs to survive,
oxygen, water, food and sleep. Without these the
body can not function properly and becomes
Unhealthy.

Many people while working just reach for a nice
calorie laden snack – chips, cookies and candy bars,
or another cup of coffee for a quick perk me up and
return to work. But this type of substitution only
causes unforeseen problems later.

You don’t need those extra calories and what harm
are you causing to your body’s systems?

Scientist have known and studied the circadian
cycle of the body for years. When you deny your
body sleep, you disrupt this cycle.

Instead of the body sleeping and repairing cells and
tissues you are forcing it to digest food, the mind is
working over time instead of relaxing, and the wrong
hormones are at work. The signals of the body are
getting all messed up.

You are not only running down your body, you’re
also getting your hormones confused. You will
produce more hormones to promote hunger and
less hormones to give the full feeling. That is why
you are not able to stop eating and never feel full.

And bright and early the next morning you think I just
slept for 4 hours why do I feel so bad??? So you go
and add another cup of coffee with a snack to
the mess.

Next time you deny yourself the necessary sleep
remember your Health and Weigh Loss may depend
on your sleep.
