SLEEP YOUR WAY SKINNY

Being a go-getter is great but skimping on sleep is not. AM workouts are great if your going to bed early enough (10pm or earlier). Recent studies show that women who slept seven hours or more were less likely to put on weight then women who didn't. Those who slept only 6 hours were 12 percent more likely to gain weight...on average 33 pounds over 16 years. Other studies have shown that lack of sleep affects the levels of appetite hormones and may cause you to have a higher Body Mass Index (BMI).

Moral of the story....start counting those sheep an hour or two earlier each night and those workouts will start being a bit more effective!
