Craving carbs, feeling hungry later in the evening, stubborn fat loss??
These are all things I experience when I don't get enough sleep or get to sleep too late.
These are all signs of lack of sleep and one of my major problems - I go to bed too late all to frequently! I KNOW this is bad for me but can't seem to stop doing it... staying up until 1am+ then having to get up at 7:30 - giving me less than 8 hrs I need to lose weight.
This video explains it all and I had to watch it just to reconfirm what I already know. On days when I go to bed really late I wake up and am craving carbs and am hungrier all day.
I've also seen A LOT of info about the importance of getting sleep between 10 pm and 2 am -- it is said that sleeping between these four hours is MUCH more restful and beneficial for our health (and weight loss) than, for instance, getting more hours after 1am or 2am.
Last night I went to bed at 11:30 but I need to aim for 11pm or earlier. I think that 11pm is about the earliest I can do right now (I've always been a "late night" person). I am committing to getting to bed by 11pm and will report back on how I feel and if this helps me break this plateau I'm on.
