I WILL: GET ENOUGH SLEEP

A GOOD NIGHT’S SLEEP HELPS YOU FEEL LESS HUNGRY.

Really! Two hormones affect your hunger levels: ghrelin, which makes you feel hungry, and leptin, which makes you feel full. When you’re sleep deprived, your ghrelin levels rise, and your leptin levels drop. When you’re well rested, the reverse is true. That means it takes less food to feel satisfied when you’ve gotten at least seven good hours of sleep. Poor sleeping habits are also associated with sleep apnea, diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, and depression.

Start Small: Set a bedtime and always get into bed at that time. Turn off all screens one hour before your bedtime. Keep temperatures cool and avoid caffeine or alcohol after dinner.

Finish Remarkable: Try a sleep tracker, which can help you make adjustments so that you can get better quality sleep.
