We need our rest to reach our personal best each day. Here are a few tips to maximize the opportunity to recharge for the next day—
-Refrain from eating at least two hours before bed, especially carbs! Your hunger hormones make you sleepier.
-Get your last workout 3-4 hours before bedtime- Getting your exercise will help you sleep but your body will have a harder time calming down if you try to sleep right after your workout.
-Skip the cocktail- alcohol may make you fall asleep but it can disrupt your sleep all night leaving you more tired in the morning.
-Keep it dark and silent in the room- close all blinds, turn off the television, put away the IPhone, laptop and even cover the light on your alarm clock! These things can distract you and can cause anxiety, allow yourself to have a peaceful environment to rest in.
Happy Snoozing!
