When we embark on a weight-loss journey it's natural to focus on what we eat, how often we exercise and ensuring that we are drink enough fluids... simple, right?
Well, not exactly!
Our body also needs something that is crucial for weight loss and it's often overlooked or not mentioned by weight-loss "experts".
So what is the missing ingredient? The one thing that you can easily adjust yourself and it doesn't break the bank, cause an injury or make you sweat.
The answer is "sleep". Getting enough shut-eye is vital to losing weight and also maintaining optimum health. We've become so busy that we often feel we need to squeeze every last minute out of our day. Our "busy-ness" is costing us in the form of extra centimeters around our waistline and this leaves us lacking the energy we need to make good food choices.
It's a vicious cycle, when we feel tired we drink more coffee and rely on sugar to give us energy when we really need to be alert to keep in tune with our inner health goals. When we feel tired we are less likely to do the exercise we need to help shift those extra kilos... sound familiar?
So how much sleep do we 'really' need?
It's often said that we need eight hours a night sleep but some of us need more than this and the time we goto bed is also very important. Often our busy-ness means we never truly find out how much sleep our body ideally needs.
