Sleep Yourself Slim

I hope you’re enjoying this fantastic chapter in your life. Now is the perfect time to commit to yourself before you commit to another person.

Sure, you’re balancing many wedding-planning responsibilities right now (or procrastinating big time). Just remember to make time for yourself.

Along with exercise and proper nutrition, sleep is essential to your training program and will help you look and feel great on your big day.

Choose which scenario best describes you…

Every night, you go to bed at the same time and drift effortlessly into an undisturbed slumber, only to rise the next morning renewed and refreshed. You relax into the good night and open your eyes, only when you feel rested, without the whine of an alarm clock.

Or…

Your sleep schedule changes like the weather. Bedtime may be 10 p.m. one night and then 1:30 a.m. on the next. Sleep-sabotaging temptations sneak into your bedroom disguised as the internet, TV, and a host of anti-sleep foods. When the alarm clangs, you fumble for the snooze bar in disbelief: You’re more exhausted now then when you closed your blood-shot eyes five hours ago.

If the first scenario is not your reality, you may be missing out on the regenerative benefits of quality sleep. For starters, your body is a hormone factory and sleep is the key that initiates the manufacture and release of powerful, fat-blasting, body-firming substances. Only when you achieve good rest on a regular basis, are you rewarded with a host of chemicals that help bones, muscles, and joints rebuild after exercise and prepare you for the next workout.

Serious sleep deprivation affects your hormones, which stimulate appetite and may cause overeating and a host of other problems that will interfere with your body-sculpting plans.

I picked the brains of the world’s leading sleep authorities and came up with proven tips to help you get a good night’s sleep every night. The easy-to-adopt advice is jam-packed into Chapter 7 of my brand-new book…
