How To Get Rid Of Flabby Arms With Sleep Optimization

By Katherine Crawford M.S.

Studies have shown that women are more sleep deprived than ever. And this is not good news for those wishing to get rid of flabby arms. After all, sleep is critical if you want slimmer arms.

You see, if you do not get sleep, a whole range of negative effects will set back your flabby arms mission. For instance, a lack of sleep increases ghrelin which is a hormone that will make you extremely hungry.

And also bear in mind that not getting sleep will decrease the replenishment of certain neurotransmitters in your brain which are responsible for mood. And getting rid of flabby arms with a poor mood is like pushing a boulder up a hill.

Thus, here are five tips on how to get rid of flabby arms with sleep optimization:

1. Stay in the dark. Light is the most powerful zeitgeber. In other words, is the strongest signal your body uses to establish regular wake and sleep cycles. If there is any light hitting your eyes before you want to wake up, your quality of sleep will deteriorate.

2. Exert your brain. Your brain uses ATP to produce energy. If you exhaust a lot of ATP during the day, you will sleep better at night. So make sure you take part in activities that are mentally challenging.

3. Stick to your guns. Do not sleep in unless absolutely necessary. And never sleep in for two days in a row. This will disrupt your regular sleep schedule. And a regular sleep schedule is critical for getting deep sleep.

4. Determine whether or not you have a substantial sleep debt. Everyone has some level of sleep debt. If you completely eliminated your sleep debt, you would have no drive to fall asleep. Do something monotonous. If your eyes become heavy, your sleep debt is too big.

5. Avoid acute increases in stress. If you have a huge stressor during the day, the stress pathways in your brain can remain overactive at night. Thus, you will have poor sleep.

Getting a full night's sleep will make the process of getting rid of flabby arms much easier. Managing a sleep debt while trying to get toned arms is like trying to run a marathon with a bag of rocks on your back. So get sleeping! - 30414
