Do you sleep 6 hours or fewer per night? If you do, you’re sabotaging your diet. Medical science proves the link between sleeping fewer hours and having a higher body mass index. Recent studies show the amount of sleep you get affects the hormones that control your appetite. 1,000 volunteers measured sleep, hormone levels and weight A joint study between the University of Wisconsin and Stanford University followed the sleep patterns of 1,000 volunteers. Research proved men who slept the fewest hours (less than 8 hours per night) weighed the most and had the largest percentage of body fat. Sleep helps regulate the hormones leptin and ghrelin Ghrelin is a hormone produced in your intestinal tract. It stimulates your appetite. When you don’t get enough sleep your ghrelin levels rise. When your levels are up, you become very hungry. Leptin is produced in your fat cells. It tells your body when you are full. The less sleep you get, the lower your leptin levels will be. That means even when you eat you will not feel satisfied. What’s worse -- doctors observed that men who were deprived of sleep not only ate more, they insisted on eating high carbohydrate, calorie-rich foods. That’s a sure path to weight gain. Sleep plays a role in weight control You know sleep is good for you, but in today’s hectic, high stress environment there’s no guarantee that once you hit the pillow, you will fall asleep. Many men are turning to prescription sleep aids, but the side effects can be devastating. Good night’s sleep without the hazards or side effects of prescription sleeping pills Natural supplements such as melatonin are gaining popularity. Melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone in the body. This hormone helps to regulate the body’s natural sleep cycle. As we age, natural melatonin production decreases. Taking a supplement with melatonin may seem like an easy answer. But how much should you take? Will you feel groggy in the morning? Unfocused? Sluggish? How much is too much and how can you regulate what will work and what won’t? 2 all-natural formulas: daytime and nighttime You need a supplement that helps you get a good night’s sleep and gives your body the energy and nutrients it needs all day long.
