Serious Health Mistakes II

Not Getting Enough Sleep

Doctors have recommended at least 8 hours of sleep a night to function to one’s fullest the next day. Sleep deprivation has been linked to weight gain, depression, anxiety, heart disease and insulin resistance, not to mention the accidents that can result from limited mental alertness.
People who can’t finish their work during the day tend to sacrifice sleep instead of foregoing or postponing less important commitments and set a regular bedtime to get a full 8 hours in order to avoid the effects of sleep deprivation.
Note: To improve the quality of your sleep, you need to avoid animal protein at night; these are digested for up to eight hours, thus interfering with your comfort. This becomes harder to avoid as we skip meals throughout the day and come home to have a large meal in one sitting.
