Trying to Lose Weight? One Key Most People Forget
It is a brand new year. Many made New Year's resolutions to lose weight or become healthier. Are you one of those who set a resolution and regardless of your 5 miles run at the gym and eating a salad for every meal, you find yourself still hovering at the same weight and feeling blah? You are probably missing one key ingredient to being able to lose weight and feel great. SLEEP.

Sleep is just as important as exercise and healthy eating habits. More than 30% of people do not sleep more than SIX hours in a 24 hour period! I was one of "those". Lately, between my sleep number bed, my new down duvet comforter that my in-laws gave me for Christmas, my PeachSkinSheets and my incredibly soft Tanda Pillows, I am finally getting the sleep that I so desperately need.
Key Reasons You Need Sleep
- Lack of sleep may have you skip exercise due to being tired.
- Less sleep impairs the frontal lobe resulting in unclear thoughts and a hard time making decisions.
- Often sleep deprivation causes a need to "feel good" making it much easier to overeat
- Less sleep makes cortisol levels spike which puts your body into "conservation mode".
- Tiredness makes a latte sound extra "needed" adding a lot of sugar and calories to your diet.
- Slows your metabolism.
How to Increase Your Sleep
- Have a comfortable mattress
- Turn electronics off an hour before bedtime to let your eyes and brain relax.
- Make your bedroom a place for sleep only.
- Go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day.
- Do not anything heavy before bed.
- Stay clear of tea, soda, chocolate, and coffee which includes caffeine in the evenings.
- Turn off all lights including the TV.
- Create a habit such as reading or meditating before bed.
- Invest in a pillow that encourages added comfort and neck support such as the Tanda Pillow.

Sleep it crucial for healing and to rest the mind and body.
These are great tips, sleep is so important to our overall health! I find that drinking lots of water throughout the day really helps me feel my best. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
You are so right.... getting enough sleep is crucial to weight loss and an overall healthy lifestyle. I think its been a major missing component in my weight loss journey. I'm hoping that I can continue good sleep habits when baby #3 comes, but that may be easier said than done. lol
This was a very informative feature to read. A good night's sleep is so important to how we function during the day. The Tanda pillow would definitely benefit me as I have some problems sleeping at night.
I am sure many people will need to hear this information and happy to receive as well.
This pillow sounds amazing! Thanks for the information 🙂 Very helpful!
This pillow sounds luxurious! I love my memory foam pillow too!
I suffer from bad sleep all the time.. and insomnia as well. I wonder what those pillows would be like - I like the cooling factor and the wicking away of sweat. Hmmm... thinking I may need to try them.

I wish I could get more sleep. I go to bed at a descent time and usually doesn't take long for me to fall asleep, but I can't ever stay asleep. I usually only get 3-5 hours of sleep a night.
So much yes!! I always wish there were more hours in the day I could devote to sleep lol!! I can tell when I have not had enough!
I am typically a nightowl, and often dont sleep a full eight hours.I have tried correcting itusing different methods. This pillow soundsdivine.
Thanks very much for these helpful tips. I do have trouble sleeping some nights and definitely would love to shed some weight.
I know people who are quite proud they feel they can get by with very little sleep. I have heard it can impact weight in a negative way, along with many other detrimental things not getting enough sleep can do to your health (and probably lifestyle). These are good suggestions if you think you are a "night" person and can't get to sleep, so stay up late.
I'm also guilty of not getting enough sleep. Thanks for the informative article.
I think we all forget about this. We think more exercise and food restrictions but not more sleep. This pillow looks amazing.
I need to lose some weight myself. We often forget about sleep. This is so important. Thank you for sharing this great information
This was a really cool post for those of us shedding g the pounds
