Rest your way to good Health
21/8/09
Sleep is a major component of fitness & good health:
- When starting an exercise program sleep must be a part of the plan
- When we don't get enough sleep we are more vulnerable to illness, accidents, irritability, conflict, and depression.
- Without enough sleep we have less energy ,exercise sessions are of a lesser quality and we take easier less nutritional options for our meals.
- Without adequate sleep there is not enough rest for muscle cell growth and repair.
How Much Sleep Do I Need?
The truth of the matter is that everyone is different. There is no absolute formula that you can use to determine how much sleep you need. Some people do very well if they have six hours, while others need at least nine or ten.
STEPS TO A BETTER SLEEP
- Plan your evening so you get to bed on time.
- Spend the money on a suitable bed.
- Read or listen to relaxing music before bedtime.
- Avoid caffeine & sugar prior to bedtime.
