Have you been burning the midnight oil lately? It takes more than a weekend to get caught up on lost sleep. Your body needs to recoup every hour of lost sleep.
For instance, if you spend time Monday through Thursday staying up late to meet a deadline, that adds up to eight hours of sleep lost. People who regularly get less than six hours of sleep each night are slowly racking up a sleep-debt which can then impact their performance and cognitive abilities.
And get this – even if you feel just a little drowsy, it can still mean you have a tough time focusing, learning, or performing tasks you are accustomed to. New research also suggests that regular sleep deprivation may even have long-lasting negative effects on your brain.
Follow suggestions for improving your sleep that you can find online (like have a sleep routine, watch what you eat in the evening, exercise during the day, etc.) Try natural nutrients that your body might be crying for before going to sleep-aids that are drugs. Every one in my family uses Shaklee’s OsteoMatrix or Shaklee’s Calcium/Magnesium Chewable Plus Tablets before bedtime. It means we get good sleep (even helps reduce snoring) as well as builds up our bones and teeth. This is nature’s natural relaxer.
Here’s to a good night sleep for optimum health for you.
