How To Get Rid Of Flabby Arms With Sleep Optimization
Posted on 03. Dec, 2009 by Katherine Crawford M.S. in Losing Weight
Studies have shown that women are more sleep deprived than ever. And this is not good news for those wishing to get rid of flabby arms. After all, sleep is critical if you want slimmer arms.
Unfortunately, a lack of sleep causes many different changes in your body that make your flab-less mission that much harder. One negative is the decrease in growth hormone output-a hormone that burns fat and builds muscle.
And also bear in mind that not getting sleep will decrease the replenishment of certain neurotransmitters in your brain which are responsible for mood. And getting rid of flabby arms with a poor mood is like pushing a boulder up a hill.
Thus, here are five tips on how to get rid of flabby arms with sleep optimization:
1. Stay in the dark. Light is the most powerful zeitgeber. In other words, is the strongest signal your body uses to establish regular wake and sleep cycles. If there is any light hitting your eyes before you want to wake up, your quality of sleep will deteriorate.
2. Use your mind. Challenging your mind during the day will break down a lot of ATP. And breaking down ATP will help you sleep much better at night.
3. Try not to sleep in. The occasional sleep in won’t do much harm. But be careful. You see, if you sleep in more than once you run the risk of disrupting your regular sleeping patterns. And this will make getting rid of flabby arms very difficult.
4. Determine whether or not you have a substantial sleep debt. Everyone has some level of sleep debt. If you completely eliminated your sleep debt, you would have no drive to fall asleep. Do something monotonous. If your eyes become heavy, your sleep debt is too big.
5. Avoid acute increases in stress. If you have a huge stressor during the day, the stress pathways in your brain can remain overactive at night. Thus, you will have poor sleep.
If you really want to get rid of those flabby arms I strongly suggest that you treat your sleep as sacred. If you are consistently sleep deprived, it will be extremely hard to get lean and sexy arms. So please do not subject yourself to sleep deprivation!
