Sleep and Aging


“We all look forward to a good night's sleep. Sleep allows our body to rest and to restore its energy levels. Without enough restful sleep, not only can we become grumpy and irritable, but also inattentive and more prone to accidents. Like food and water, adequate sleep is essential to good health and quality of life.”
- NIH Senior Health

The Power of Restful Sleep


Do you get at least 8 hours of restful sleep a night?  For most adults, Timothy Morgenthaler, M.D. with the Mayo Clinic says the average adult needs between 7-9 hours. 


Interesting fact: 
Also, according to the National Institute of Health, your body repairs and regenerates between 10PM-2AM when you are asleep, your mind, spiritual and emotional components get balanced between 2AM-6AM. 

Tip #1:
Try going to bed at the same time every night as much as possible.  Our bodies have a perfect internal clock inside them.  If you train your body and mind to go to bed at say, 10AM every night, it will be easier to fall asleep and stay asleep over time.

Tip #2:
Buy Sleep in a Snap if you need help staying asleep.  The 2nd phase of the TriPhasic dosage is L-theanine, which helps increase feelings of well-being, mood elevation and calm.

How Sleep Affects Your Weight


Quote:
 “It’s not so much that if you sleep, you will lose weight, but if you are sleep-deprived, meaning that you are not getting enough minutes of sleep or good quality sleep, your metabolism will not function properly,” explains Michael Breus, PhD, author of Beauty Sleepand the clinical director of the sleep division for Arrowhead Health in Glendale, Ariz



Interesting fact: 
Sleep cannot only help with weight loss, but getting restful sleep regularly has other positive side effects, like increasing your memory, enhancing your immune function and reducing your risk of cancer.

Tip #1:
Try to add a workout to your daily regimen at least 3 days a week.  By pushing your body, you will naturally need more rest.  Just don’t work out too late.  If you do, you might have problems falling asleep.


Tip #2:
Buy Sleep in a Snap if you are having problems falling asleep.  It has a healthy amount of melatonin to help give you that quick start.  For most that have sampled it, they fall asleep within 10-20 minutes!
