1488 When Enough is Enough

Nothing is more disheartening when you feel like you've
lost the battle for optimal health. When enough is enough,
there's still hope.


You can win the battle of optimal health with simple changes. And
those simple changes may surprise you.

However, there is a warning to this information. You may be asked
to do things you really don't want to change


If that's the case, understand that you are choosing to stay
where you are. And that's okay.


But don't keep revisiting your frustration with your health if
you're not willing to put in the work that will impact your life
forever.


Okay, with that disclaimer, let's talk about one area we all can
work on.


SLEEP!!


According to data from the National Health Interview Survey,
approximately 35 percent of US adults sleep fewer than six hours
a night, and a growing body of evidence has linked reduced sleep
duration and quality with a shockingly wide range of health
problems.


So if you want optimal health, it must include sleep.


Time to sleep like a PRO!
The K.I.S.S. ~ Sleep like a P.R.O.!
PRIORITIZE

Aim for eight hours of sleep to start.

Go to bed earlier, as most people usually have less control
over when they can wake up.

Movement

Get daily physical activity, move your body

Limit your "sit" time



REGULATE 

Reduce exposure to artificial light at night

Avoid using computers, tablets, and phones within three
hours of your bedtime

Dim, cover, or remove anything that emits light in your
room such as an alarm clock

Use blackout shades to make your room as dark as possible

Wear a face mask when sleeping



Increase exposure to natural light during the day

Drink your coffee or tea outside in the morning

Take a 20- to 30-minute walk outside at lunchtime

Buy a light machine that emits 10,000 lux of light and
sit in front of it for 15 to 20 minutes



Regulate your nervous system

Manage your stress levels through the day



OPTIMIZE

Nutrition

Try different approaches to eating before bed

Some sleep better after eating only a light dinner, while
others do better with a snack before bed

It’s best to be neither overly full nor hungry when you
go to bed

Experiment with macronutrient ratios

Some people find that a low-carb or ketogenic diet
interferes with sleep, while others find it improves their
sleep



Ditch the Stimulants

Create an environment conducive to sleep

Use your bedroom only for sleep and sex

Avoid working in your bedroom

Avoid using electronic media in your bedroom (especially
near bedtime)

Don’t bring your phone into the bedroom

Be aware that even a good book can hook you and prevent
you from sleeping as easily

Create a pleasant and relaxing environment

Control the temperature

Make your bed as comfortable as possible

Avoid emotionally upsetting conversations or activities

Use earplugs or a white noise app to block out noise





Sleep must be a priority in your life. It doesn't always come as
natural as you think it should.


Take time to figure out what works for you. And then partner with
your spouse to understand what they need to. Time spent on
creating good sleep patterns will lead you to many nights of
greatness.
