Notice when one gets a full night of sleep how much better you feel the next day. With today's go, go, go society sleep is a necessity but often gets overlooked. An adult needs to get between 7-9 hours of sleep each night, children more up to 10-11 hours. If your noticing your fitness goals are slipping away because lack of sleep your not alone. Millions of Americans are sleep deprived. It's time for us to take a look at why we are not getting enough sleep. Is it because you are watching tv? Are you up late night eating? Are you working out to close to your bedtime? Do you have a set routine every night before bed? Personally I like to read before I go to bed. It's my way of unwinding and it stays the same every night so I mentally know I need to start winding down and get a good nights rest. So try to go to bed an hour earlier if you don't usually get enough sleep. You might toss and turn but eventually your body will give in after you quite your mind and you will get a good nights rest.
