You need your rest. No, 4 or 5 hours just do not cut it. According to most physicians, it’s not healthy for you to get less than six hours each and every night. Sleep is what reduces your stress levels, heals your cells and muscle tissue, sharpens your memory, improves your concentration and gives you more energy. You might already know all of that, but here’s something that probably didn’t know. There are certain things that you can do before turning in that will help you to lose weight while you’re sleeping.

We’re not saying that you’ll lose 10 pounds overnight. But if you apply the following tips to your sleep regimen, you should notice your pants feeling a little looser within a couple of weeks.

About Shellie Reneé

Just a woman who digs all things relationships. HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS, that is. I've been writing (professionally) for close to 20 years, including having two books published. I'm also a marriage life coach and doula. Sometimes I speak to large audiences or do radio interviews, but usually I'm sitting in my favorite chair, surfin' the 'net and penning stuff that I wish I had read in my early 20s.

Listen, I don't have all the answers, not by a LOOOOONG shot. But whatever I can do to spare folks any heartbreak, bitterness or straight-up drama, I'll devote some keystrokes to doing. 

That's it...in a nutshell. For the most part. Kinda. ;)
