Adjusting your
sleep habits will help you to lose weight in the New Year, or
anytime, according to sleep experts. Here are a few tips that can
help you keep your weight loss resolution.
- Don't eat
right before bed, but make sure you've eaten a good dinner so you
don't go to bed hungry.
- Regular
exercise is key to weight loss; however, make sure you exercise at
least three hours before you go to bed.
- Find a
relaxing bedtime routine and stick with it--it could be something
as simple as a warm bath or reading a book (a really boring book
such as a how-to manual is almost guaranteed to put you to sleep
fast).
- Caffeine,
cigarettes, and alcoholic beverages don't help you sleep, in fact
they may actually make sleep impossible, so avoid these substances
late in the afternoon and evening.
- Don't take a
daytime nap if you have trouble sleeping at night.
- Make your
bedroom a pleasant place for sleeping. Set your thermostat to a
temperature you find comfortable and make your room as dark and
quiet as possible.
- If you have
been trying to sleep for 30 minutes and are still awake, get out
of bed. Go in another room and do something relaxing until you
feel like you are sleepy enough to go to sleep.
See your health
care provider if sleep problems continue for more than a few weeks,
or if sleep loss interferes with your daily life.
