Get enough sleep

Hi Team,

The importance of getting enough quality sleep cannot be overstated. Poor sleep can drive insulin resistance, disrupt your appetite hormones, and reduce your physical and mental performance. 

What’s more, poor sleep is one of the strongest individual risk factors for weight gain and obesity. One study linked insufficient sleep to an 89% and 55% increased risk of obesity in children and adults, respectively. 

TIP: Avoid bright lights before sleep

When you’re exposed to bright lights in the evening, it may disrupt your production of the sleep hormone melatonin. One strategy is to use a pair of amber-tinted glasses that block blue light from entering your eyes in the evening. Not the sexiest of accessories but definitely improved my sleep.

This allows melatonin to be produced as if it were completely dark, helping you sleep better.

I hope you found this useful.

Own your day, be bulletproof
