Lose weight sleeping: Here are some tips for good sleep
Many people don't believe that you can lose weight just by sleeping. However, daily sleep is closely related to weight loss. If you master the correct method, you can even say that you can lose weight just by sleeping.
Do you sometimes feel feel hungry and wonder why you feel so hungry? This is because there are two hormones in our body that control appetite. One is the Ghrelin hormone that stimulates our appetite and makes us want to eat; the other is the Leptin hormone that makes us feel full and suppresses appetite. Maintaining the balance of these two hormones is known as the secret of weight loss success.
How can we best control our hunger hormones?
The answer lies in sleep! It is said that people who sleep less will secrete more hunger hormone that promotes appetite, and less secretion of leptin that suppresses appetite, so they tend to eat more and gain weight. In other words, people who have good sleep every day can become a physique that eats less and tends to lose weight. Because of this, a good night's sleep is really important.

In order to promote more "slimming hormones", the point is to sleep well every night. But there are also many people who have difficulty falling asleep and light sleep cannot enter deep sleep. For such people, it is recommended to take a shower one hour before going to bed.
When the body temperature drops, we become sleepy and we can enter deep sleep. Bathing can promote blood circulation and increase body temperature, but the body temperature will drop again after taking a bath for about an hour, and you can sleep more deeply when you sleep.
The degree of relaxation before going to bed is also the key to deep sleep. When we are busy and nervous, we got into the bed and struggle to fall asleep. In order to release tense emotions, we can also use the scent of herbs to increase the relaxing effect.
For example, drinking some chrysanthemum tea that has a calming effect, smelling the scent of lavender promotes sleep, and putting your favourite scent on the pillow can also promote sleep and improve weight loss!
It is said that as long we have at least 7 hours restful sleep, you can burn 300 calories of fat. In addition, people who sleep less than 5 hours for a long time have a 73% chance of getting fat.
Studies have shown that the less sleep time, the slower the fat burning, the easier it is to gain weight. Sleep time must be maintained at more than 5 hours so that the weight loss effect can be improved, and a physique that is easy to lose weight only by sleeping.

4. Try to get up before 10 o'clock on holidays
On the weekdays when sleep deprivation is finally over and the weekends have started, many people choose to sleep until noon. Why can't we keep the habit of getting up early on weekdays? In fact, this habit of sleeping late is absolutely undesirable for weight loss. This is because a long sleep will cause the body clock to be disturbed.Translated and edited from:
