Sleep plays a vital role in excess weight, alongside many other negative health effects.<\/p>\n<p>Why? Sleep is important when it comes to regulating metabolism and\u00a0appetite. Even if we lack a small amount of sleep, the metabolic system goes out of balance, affecting our dietary choices and the way we metabolise calories.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s no coincidence that while our average sleep time decreased between the 1950s to 2000s\u2014from about 8.5 hours to 6.5 hours per night\u2014there has been an increase in the prevalence of obesity from about 10 per cent to about 23 per cent. Overworking, device addiction, increased\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/hk.asiatatler.com\/feature\/travel\">travel<\/a>, and so on, have all played a role in reducing sleep-time.<\/p>\n<p>To understand further, let\u2019s look at two key hormones: cortisol and insulin. Cortisol is known as the \u201cstress hormone,\u201d and sleep deprivation triggers a spike in its production. Cortisol then signals your body to conserve energy to fuel your waking hours, a defence mechanism designed to protect the body from perceived stressful conditions. The bottom line is, you\u2019re more likely to hang on to fat with increased cortisol levels.<\/p>\n<p>University of Chicago researchers report that sleep deprivation\u00a0makes us \u201cmetabolically groggy.\u201d Within just four days of insufficient shut-eye, your body\u2019s ability to process\u00a0insulin\u2014a hormone needed to change sugar, starches, and other food into energy\u2014goes out of balance, meaning we are less likely to burn off excess calories from these sources.<\/p>\n<p>Further research shows that REM (rapid eye movement) sleep is when we also burn fat, so the more you sleep, the more REM sleep you&#8217;ll get to burn more calories.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221;][vc_column][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221;][vc_column][vc_single_image image=&#8221;22258&#8243; img_size=&#8221;600&#215;500&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; qode_css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221;][vc_column][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]For many of us, falling asleep and\/or staying asleep can be a challenge. The usual worries and stresses of life can play a big role in being able to switch off, let alone our inability to keep our hands off our phones. However, with a few small tweaks, you could be sleeping your way to a slimmer waist.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s how:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Get A Routine<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Go to bed at the same time each night, ideally, even on weekends\u2014this helps regulate your body clock. Put your phone in another room, purchase an alarm clock (remember those?) and read a book instead. My phone, I hear you cry? Yet when you think of fitting into your new winter\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/hk.asiatatler.com\/style\/5-cool-denim-brands-you-need-to-know\">jeans<\/a>\u00a0or alleviating poor health due to obesity, it\u2019s not too much to ask.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rituals Help<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Practice pre-sleep rituals for relaxation. Have a warm bath\/shower,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/hk.asiatatler.com\/life\/resham-daswani-has-meditation-down-to-a-tea\">meditate<\/a>\u00a0or utilise meditative breathing and mindfulness (apps abound). Rub lavender oil on to your temples and inhale deeply. Keep the room cool, but not colder than about 20 degrees. Try to block out as much light as possible.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t Go Hungry<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A small handful of tart cherries can work. These are one of the few natural sources of melatonin, which is responsible for the regulation of the body&#8217;s internal clock and\u00a0sleep-wake cycle. Sip the tried and tested chamomile tea.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Exercise<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Vigorous exercise is ideal, but any form of https:\/\/flexhk.com\/workshops\/physical activity is better than nothing.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/hk.asiatatler.com\/life\/how-exercise-can-help-beat-the-baby-blues\">Exercise<\/a> helps with mood regulation, helping you process challenges from the day. The solution here is to think of exercise for better sleep like weight loss\u2014it may take some time to reap results, so don\u2019t expect miracles after one day.<\/p>\n<p>Make exercise frequent, and choose workouts like\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/flexhk.com\/\">HIIT<\/a>\u00a0and vigorous\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/flexhk.com\/\">Vinyasa<\/a>\u00a0in the mornings, and more relaxing and restorative practices in the evening such as yin\/hatha yoga and Decompression Anti- Gravity release.<\/p>\n<p><strong>O2 All Day<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Drink plenty of clean water during the day \u2013 keep a reusable water bottle with you, or on your desk, and stand up to refill it and get in those extra steps. But, don&#8217;t drink too much in the few hours before you sleep.<\/p>\n<p><em>Sweet dreams!<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221;][vc_column][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221;][vc_column][vc_single_image image=&#8221;22260&#8243; img_size=&#8221;600&#215;500&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; qode_css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221;][vc_column][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]<em>Flex is hosting two unique workshops with the luxury aroma and skin care brand, Aromatherapy Associates.
