CrystalJo74's Journal, 12 May 22

Talking about sleep today and how it makes a difference in our weight loss success.

I never thought about sleep making a CHEMICAL change in my system! But it actually changes whether I'm burning fat while I'm sleeping or whether I'm burning muscle! Plus, those chemicals are affecting my eating behavior the next day!

I hope we all are finding ways to wind down sooner each night and get that extra hour or 2 of sleep. It really DOES make a difference😴

CrystalJo, I have been reading a lot on mitochondria health and getting my circadian rhythm set right, so I get the proper sleep. Very useful information. Thank you for always sharing good information. 💕

You're most welcome Becky💗 I've been logging my sleep for almost a year and there is definitely a pattern/relationship between sleep and weight changes.

Good point! I can never sleep much more than 6 straight abc usually only 4. My dr said sleep when I can and I’m tired. I notice the days I rest more, it helps the inflammation. Have a beautiful day!

@oceanladyjulia...I think it's even more important for those of us with autoimmune issues!! I strive for 7+ hours and can really FEEL the difference if I get less than that. Warm wishes that you can somehow get more restorative sleep💙

My drs have said that it’s extremely important. I simply can’t sleep straight through no matter what. I have other health issues that wake me up. 💯 I’ll keep trying! 💯

Great info Crystal! I wish I could sleep more than 6hrs a night. I need to do better in that area. Thanks again!

I can fall asleep but can't stay asleep so I average 4-5 hours a night.

@diana...I put myself right back in bed after I get up for a potty break. I used to get up and stay up for a while...but not since I learned about this leptin/grehlin stuff

100% CrystalJo! I can usually handle 1, maybe 2 nights of disrupted sleep. By the third day I’m a hungry, cranky beast.

Definitely true. My workout suffers dramatically when I stay up late watching ufc 😂

I'm glad I can get 7hrs of sleep now, I use to wake up 2-3 times until I realized I should stop drinking water at 6 and it works perfectly without interrupting my sleep.

@allegra40...so, you've noticed this too! When I find myself edgy and hungrier than usual, that's the first thing I double check....how did I sleep?🤔

@YetAnotherAccountLOL98...I encourage everyone to double check my info for themselves. I don't want to steer anyone in the wrong direction! Thanks for your comments today😊

@superman6283...UFC, huh? Somehow that doesn't surprise me 1 bit😉 But sleeeeeep is more important!

@buenitabishop...good for you! That's probably a good part of your weight loss success!😴👍
