Get Better Sleep to Lose More Weight

Written by Paleo Forever

It’s always nice when two separate goals actually share things in common you can use to achieve both. This is definitely the case when it comes to getting healthier by losing weight and through getting better sleep. Both are important to your health, of course and both are examples of things we should just about all work on: everyone could stand to lose at least a pound or two and add some hours of quality sleep to our lives. Fortunately, if you begin sleeping better, you’ll lose weight in the process.

First, make sure you have a room worthy of this goal. Your bedroom needs be absolutely pitch black in order for you to fall asleep in it. This means there can’t be any light coming in through the windows. But it also means you should get rid of any digital clocks and no watching TV from bed.

Speaking of watching TV, this room needs to be for sleeping, sex and nothing more. It confuses your brain when you use the same room for everything from sleeping to watching late night television.

Next, develop a pattern that helps you get to sleep at night. Start by winding down as you get closer to your set bed time. This means turning off any digital devices and having your last meal. By doing this regularly, your body will have a much easier time falling asleep and staying that way once it does.

While both goals are great, it’s awesome that one helps the other. Sleep better and lose weight for it.
