#get7hourssleep

Get 7 to 8 hours of quality sleep each night. Research shows that people who get adequate sleep tend to weight less than those who don't. The reasons are not fully understood, but there seems to be a connection between sleep loss and hormonal changes that affect appetite and satiety. Poor sleepers may also be more stressed, and therefore less able to use coping strategies around food and eating. Make it a Routine: * Do what you can to keep a regular sleep/wake schedule * Reduce your caffeine intake, and avoid alcohol and heavy meals before bed
