Banish The Christmas Bulge | Day 5 | Cirencester Personal Trainer
Our last post in the five day banish the Christmas bulge series.
Day 5 - Sleep
How many hours a night are you sleeping?
Is your bedroom designed for a good nights sleep?
Try to make sure you are getting at least 6hours sleep a night and optimally 8hours, this has shown through research to be beneficial to exercise recovery, lack of sleep also causes increased cortisol to surge through your system, and this potent hormone actually causes the accumulation of stomach fat.
Sleep depravation can also lead to major mental health issues like depression, stress and anxiety. when preparing your bedroom for going to sleep try to make sure you follow in the foot steps of the legendary BATMAN, no light disturbances, no extra noise, so turn off the television, turn your mobile phone off and also maybe invest in some blackout curtains, all allowing for perfect sleeping environment.
Enjoy
