I’m so tired…

Hope everyone had a good weekend!!  See that title of the post?  Well it’s true - I’m exhausted.  I had another one of my late nights with only about 3 hours of sleep, but although usually I can function well this morning I simply can’t :( I started to look for articles for information on lack of sleep and weight gain so that I can use my experience to help you all out, but I’m too tired to read.  But I will say this…

If you are a woman who gets less than 5 hours of sleep at night, you are more than likely 7 pounds heavier than someone who gets a full nights sleep every night.  Interesting fact huh?  I knew that there was indeed a correlation to weight loss and sleep, but I wasn’t sure how much or if it was significant at all… but apparently it is!  Women who get more sleep lose more weight at a faster rate.  Maybe it’s because they can actually get up and use the treadmill instead of going back to sleep, or perhaps it is because they don’t eat a muffin, drive their son to school and go back to sleep, which is exactly what I’m going to do.  Even still maybe it is because they aren’t so tired that they do not make dumb eating choices like eating said muffin that their mother gave them for their son to eat. 

No matter how you cut it, lack of sleep sucks and it just isn’t good for you.  That’s about all I can get out right now as I completely fall asleep at my keyboard - have a wonderful day!

Amazingly, my sleep habits are good. I get a solid 7 hours a night. Nothing more (unless I am fighting off sickies.) Nothing less or I am turbo bitch. I don’t use an alarm clock anymore. I just listen to my bod. It was difficult to get here but now that I am WOW it’s great.
