Are you one of those people that can't sleep? Do you poke your loved one in the back with a knee jab because you're too lost in thought to count sheep? Well I'm here to give you some tips on how to sleep better, even if it's just for the next 3 hours. (Yeah I know you have work in the morning.) So here is my guide to a better sleep.
If you're the type to over-think about everything, especially when you're stressed, then this is what you need to do.
Step 1: Buy a journal of any kind and write down exactly what's going on in that noggin of yours. Even if it's a bunch of negative jargon, it's important to express it and let it get out. Don't forget to read what you wrote.
Step 2: Take the piece of paper, or. doc file if your typing it, and erase it all. No matter how nasty the thoughts can be, writing them down, reading it, then erasing it will do wonders.
Step 3: Now that you have it all out of your system, try to sleep.
If you're the type who is dieting and you're just straight up hungry, this is what you need to do.
Step 1: (This step is to be done ahead of time.)
A.Go to the grocery store and buy a bunch of fruits and vegetables. If you're the type who actually likes eating vegan then this shouldn't be too bad for you.
B. Pick your favorite produce.
C. Prepare them by cutting, peeling, slicing, chopping and mixing them with a nice salad dressing. (You'll want to do individual portions that can be consumed within 3 days.)
D. The salad itself should consists of fruits or veggies and a protein. This can be boiled eggs, seasoned tofu, beans, nuts, yogurt etc.
E. Pack your prepared meal and store it in the refrigerator.
Step 2: When you're feeling those hunger pains, go to the fridge and eat whatever it is you prepared before. The combination of the low calorie fruits and/or vegetables along with the protein will give you a satisfying meal. The best part is you won't feel too guilty about snacking since it's actually been proven that eating raw fruits and vegetables create negative calories due to the amount of energy needed to burn the food which is more than the amount of energy absorbed. (You don't want to overdo it. Things need to be portioned correctly and you shouldn't do this every night.)
Step 3: Now that your belly is full, try hitting the hay.
