Sleep issues

[nikif]

Can anyone tell me if it is important to go to bed by a certain time? I know you must wait 2 hours after a meal before sleeping but I didn't see any rules about going to bed early or how much sleep to have.

Studies have linked obesity to chronic sleep deprivation and I think that is a problem for me. See the ABC story on it here: http://www.abc.net.au/4corners/content/2007/s2000881.htm

Hi again Niki

Sleep is very important to weight loss in this program, as that is when you seem to do the fat burning and drop the weight. You want to be aiming for a decent 8 hours sleep a night if you can, cause the more you sleep at night, the better your losses will be. You also have to remember that to get your meals in with the required 5 hours between meals, you kind of have to space them so that they don't run too late, unless you have a totally about face routine with night shifts etc.

Once the hormones start getting regulated, you should find that you sleep really well and soundly!

Hope that answers your query!

Most of my losses were on Saturdaynight/sundaymornings as I only got about 4 to 5 hours sleep a night 6 nights a week. Sunday mornings I would sleep in an extra 2 or 3 hours and was always rewarded with the biggest drop of the week in most instances. Sleep is very important as that when the HGH engine is running during your deep sleep cycles.

I've been averaging 6 or so hours a night all week and feel very tired all the time. I really must try and change this. Thanks for the advice.
