How Much Sleep Do I Need?
I haven’t met a lot of people who don’t LIKE to sleep, but I have met A LOT of people who CAN’T seem to sleep. Either because they don’t make the time, they’re distracted at night or they find themselves restless at night with a million thoughts keeping them up.
These are real problems that need to be addressed if you want to live life at the top of your game.
I’m talking about getting 7-9 solid hours of sleep a night. Studies have shown that adults who get less are just setting themselves up for trouble.
I don’t want you reaching for the sleeping pills right away… these can cause unwanted side effects like making you sleepy in the day, messing with your appetite and digestion and making you dizzy.
There are some excellent sleep-solutions that are NATURAL that should give you no side effects other than a good night’s sleep!
Bananas
Bananas contain high levels of potassium and magnesium, both of which are natural muscle relaxants, and help the body cope with stress.
The highest doses of these minerals are actually found in the PEEL of bananas which is why we are going to use them in our recipe today!
Bananas also contain tryptophan– a substance that was found to help with melatonin secretion at night. Melatonin is a hormone that helps your body clock know when it’s time to sleep.
Cinnamon
Research has found that cinnamon helps the body balance blood sugar levels, which is vital to proper hormone function. When hormone function is out of whack you may find yourself too energetic at night and tired during the day.
