10 tips for good night's sleep

10 tips for good night's sleep 

Stick to a schedule. Erratic bedtimes do not allow for your body to align to the proper circadian rhythms. Mum was right when she set a time we always had to go to sleep as kids. Also, make sure you try to keep the same schedule on weekends too, otherwise the next morning, you’d wake later and feel overly tired.

Sleep only at night. Avoid daytime sleep if possible. Daytime naps steal hours from nighttime slumber. Limit daytime sleep to 20-minute, power naps.
 
Exercise. It’s actually known to help you sleep better. Your body uses the sleep period to recover its muscles and joints that have been exercised. Twenty to thirty minutes of exercise every day can help you sleep, but be sure to exercise in the morning or afternoon. Exercise stimulates the body and aerobic activity before bedtime may make falling asleep more difficult.

Taking a hot shower or bath before bed helps bring on sleep because they can relax tense muscles.

Avoid eating just before bed.
Avoid eat large meals or spicy foods before bedtime. Give yourself at least 2 hours from when you eat to when you sleep. This allows for digestion to happen (or at least start) well before you go to sleep so your body can rest well during the night, rather than churning away your food.

Avoid caffeine. It keeps you awake and that’s now what you want for a good nights sleep. We all know that.

Read a fiction book.
It takes you to a whole new world if you really get into it. And then take some time to ponder over the book as you fall asleep. I find as I read more and more, regardless of the book, I get more tired at night and so find it easier to fall asleep. Different for others?

Have the room slightly cooler. I prefer this to a hot room. I prefer to turn off the heat and allow the coolness to circulate in and out of the windows. If I get cold, I wear warmer clothes. It also saves on the bills as you’re not going to require the heat all night long.

Sleep in silence. I find sleeping with no music or TV on more easy and restful. I guess others are different, but sleep with no distractions is best for a clearer mind.

Avoid alcohol before bedtime. It’s a depressant; although it may make it easier to fall asleep, it causes you to wake up during the night. As alcohol is digested your body goes into withdrawal from the alcohol, causing nighttime awakenings and often nightmares for some people.

Green Coffee Bean extract - for Weight Loss

Special Report: Lose 12 kgs of Belly Fat in 1 Month With This Diet Coffee That Celebrities Use. Exclusive Offer for Readers.
This report was created by Fit Mum Daily India to expose the truth behind a new diet sweeping India
Staff reporter Aadhya Sharma investigates a weird weight loss solution that is quickly gaining popularity in India.

(Fit Mum Daily) - The Green Coffee Bean Extract is the latest buzz in the "battle of the bulge". With millions of people praising this so called "miracle pill" that you take as a supplement to lose weight, it has been getting a lot of attention since it was recently featured on The Dr. Oz Show. Surprisingly, many people who struggle daily with their weight have yet to hear about this powerful option. Those that have heard of the green coffee bean diet are confused about what it is, how to use it and how to avoid falling for ineffective formulas and downright scams.
According to Dr Lindsey (The guest host on the popular Dr Oz show) Green Coffee Extract works in more than one way, "The first way is it goes in and causes the body to burn glucose, or sugar, and burn fat, mainly in the liver…The second way, the most important way, is it slows the release of sugar into the blood stream. So when you don't have sugar building up in the blood stream, you don't have fat building up because sugar turns to fat…When the two are combined together, you get this synergistic effect that basically burns and blocks and stops fat, but it also is natural and safe."

Well, we here at Consumer Lifestyles were a little skeptical of this Green Coffee Bean Extract. Even after pouring though mountains of research. While I had an educated opinion, I still had no personal proof that the Green Coffee Bean option was worth the time. So, with my editors blessing, I decided to go out and put the product to the test myself. What better way to find out the truth that to conduct my own study?
To get started, I volunteered to be the guinea pig. I applied online for a bottle of WOW Green Coffee. WOW Green Coffee is one of the most credible and trustworthy diet supplement suppliers on the market. It included a 100% Money Back Gurantee of the product and it did not try to fool me into agreeing to additional hidden offers. Another reason why I chose WOW Green Coffee is because it is the most concentrated and purest Green Coffee on the market. This would give me the most accurate results for my test.
This popular Hollywood diet is now extremely popular with celebrities in Bollywood!

The reason why most diets fail, in our opinion, is that they impose unrealistic restrictions on how you live your life. Some advocate eating tons of protein while others emphasize restricting carbohydrates. In either case, you're left with having to make rather drastic changes to the types of food you eat and when you eat it. In this special report, we take an in-depth look at an emerging and promising weight loss trend that we believe is a game changer, that won't require time in the gym or cutting your calories... and best of all it won't break the bank.
You may have heard of the enormously popular WOW Green Coffee in the news. It's a completely organic pumpkin-shaped fruit native to Indonesia - scientifically proven to tear away fat from you body. In studies by renowned health research institution UCLA in Los Angeles - WOW Green Coffee was proven to ignite your metabolism and your body's hidden fat burning capabilities by 318% when taken regularly. However, the problem encountered by many hoping to embrace this miracle dieting system, is that nearly 90% of the imitation WOW Green Coffee product out there are NOT pure. Most fluctuate between the 60-70% purity levels - so we tracked down the original 'WOW Green Coffee' to understand the difference. WOW Green Coffee Formula claimed they delivered 95% pure extract to your body so to put it simply - we were intrigued.
To take our study a step further, we also analyzed and discovered that those taking 'WOW Green Coffee' who experienced the most shocking weight loss results were also the study group that was using the natural detoxifier 'WOW Green Coffee' as well. Together, testimonials claim the combined usage of this product led to significant weight loss, more energy and generally a healthier day to-day feeling. If you're skeptical, you're not alone. When we first learned about this weight loss combo, our diet fad radar went off right away.
Nevertheless, as we began to investigate the countless success stories reported by people from all around the globe, we decided that this weight loss trend was worthy of a closer examination. Moreover, we found it of particular interest that these people had not significantly changed their current lifestyles.

Our reader Aashritha from Chennai was reported to have lost a healthy 13 Kg in just 5 weeks while being on the WOW Green Coffee and WOW Green Coffee combo diet.
In the story on her blog she states, "I couldn't believe how easy it was. I didn't change my diet or my daily routine, but the fat melted off like it is butter. I love this stuff! Finally a diet that just works."

For the Fit Mum Daily India test, it was inevitable that I was to be the guinea pig for this diet since I was about to get married. I wanted to lose 7 kg for my wedding. In order to try the WOW Green Coffee and WOW Green Coffee diet, I ordered the two product online. Although there are many similar product available, I chose WOW Green Coffee on the basis that it had been clinically tested and approved at GNP Labs in Los Angeles, California - an organization renowned for their strict guidelines on weight management product.
The discounted bottle of WOW Green Coffee was delivered in a few days after ordering and I got free shipping which wasn't previously available. WOW Green Coffee is one of the most concentrated and purest weight loss product on the market.
Here is what WOW Green Coffee™ claimed on their website…
  • In a study published in the journal Lipids in Health& Disease, subjects taking Green Coffee lost an average of 8 kilograms in 28 days without diet or exercise.
  • WOW Green Coffee contains no stimulants.
  • Green Coffee has been found to increase metabolism, boosting weight loss by more than 800%.
  • Studies have shown a 39% reduction in cholesterol and an average 2 inch reduction in belly fat within 28 days.
Putting the Green Coffee Bean to the Test
WOW Green Coffee arrived within 4 days of having placed my order online.
The bottles I received held a month's worth of pills which worked out perfect as I was to follow the supplement routine for 5 weeks time and document my progress throughout
My 4 Week Test: WOW Green Coffee
Take one WOW Green Coffee pill per day
My Results - I Dropped 10 Kg In Just 1 Month and Lost 3 Dress Sizes. I Nearly Cried!4-weeks-1
Week One:
After one week on the diet I was surprised at the dramatic results. My energy level was up, and I wasn't even hungry, an apparent side effect of the green coffee extract which curbs the appetite.
I honestly felt fantastic.
And I didn't even change anything about my daily routine. On day 7 I got on the scale and couldn't believe my eyes. I had lost 2 kgs. But I still wasn't convinced as they say you lose a lot of water at the beginning of any diet. I wanted to wait and see the results in the upcoming weeks. But it sure was looking up! I now weighed under 64 for the first time in years!
Week Three:
After three weeks, I started the week off with even more energy and was actually sleeping more soundly than before. I was no longer waking up during the night and tossing and turning because my body was actually able to relax (this is a result of getting rid of the toxins I think). Plus I still managed to lose another 4 kgs, putting me at an unbelievable 12 kgs of weight loss, in just 3 weeks.
I must admit that I'm starting to believe that this diet is more than just a gimmick.
Week Four:
After 4 weeks all my doubts and skepticism had absolutely vanished! I am down, 2 full dress sizes, after losing another 4 kgs. And I still have a ton of energy. Quite often, around the third week of other diets, you tend to run out of steam. But with the Green Coffee Extract my energy levels don't dip, but remain steady throughout the day. I no longer need that cat nap around 3pm in the afternoon! And I am even noticing that my stomach is digesting food so much better. No bloating or embarrassing gas after I eat!
Week Four:
After the Fifth week, my final results were shocking. I lost an unbelievable 12kgs since starting the Green Coffee Extract diet! Actually everyone at Consumer Lifestyles is kicking themselves for not having volunteered to be the guinea pig. Using the WOW Green Coffee in the last three weeks I lost 10 more kgs. But to be honest I really didn't have much more than that left to lose. And I am definitely going to continue taking the WOW Green Coffee afterwards because it has so many antioxidants and vitamins that makes my skin look unbelievable.
"I couldn't be any happier with the results.
I Lost 12 kgs in 5 Weeks, No Special Diet, No Intense Exercise"
In conclusion, Like us, here at Consumer Lifestyles, you might be a little doubtful about the effects of this diet, but you need to try it for yourself; the results are real. After conducting our own personal study we are pleased to see that people really are finding success with it (myself included ). And you have nothing to lose.

This stuff is amazing! My best friend did the same diet and lost an incredible amount of weight. i couldn't believe it and had to do some research on my own which is how I found this news article. I can't believe they are offering free shipping! I know Jessica spent something like $600 and was thrilled.. imagine how excited she would be if it cost her under $60.00. This is a godsend, thanks so much!!

I was a bit skeptical when I first read about this but as I researched more and more I found out that WOW Green Coffee is indeed what Rachael Ray and many scientists say it is. It is one of the secret anti-aging product that nobody seems to want to share. I wouldn't be surprised many celebrities know about this. I requested for WOW Green Coffee and WOW Green Coffee 1 month supply and I'm so excited! I cannot wait for them get here!
