. Sleep in cool temperatures: Keep your room at a cool temperature. Approximately 60-67 degrees Fahrenheit. This lowers your core body temperature and can assist in better sleep. Too cool for you? Wearing socks to bed may help.
There also may be medical reasons for inadequate sleep. I would suggest checking with your doctor to test for sleep apnea, a chronic sleeping disorder.
So get some shut-eye. It can assist with weight loss, muscle growth, and give you the energy you desire.
See additional tips on how to improve sleep, and other nutritional and fitness advice, in my book, Body Under Construction.
