DO YOU LOSE SLEEP OVER NOT GETTING ENOUGH SLEEP??
✅ANXIETY
Join the club. Most adults feel that they are sleep deprived. They wake at the appropriately named wee hours between 3 and 4 am, worrying about every possible worry in their lives, and now further worrying about World War Three.
In Queensland, the sun beams into bedrooms from 5 am onwards, making binge watching till midnight a dangerous pursuit.
✅SLEEP GOALS
Most have been trained to believe that 8 to 9 hours sleep is essential for staving off dementia, let alone living to old age. They have the spectre of workaholic Margaret Thatcher collapsing into premature Alzheimers after her lifelong habit of 4 hours sleep.
They also have the irritant of bossy Apple watches interrupting their Netflix entertainment with little bedtime lullabies at 10:30 pm. And every morning when they check their sleep cycles, they are woefully short of goals, much to their watches’ disapproval.
✅OPTIMUM SLEEP HOURS
Well Good news!!
The Vita Diet team is pleased to help disperse some sleep anxieties.
Medical research by the University of California involving 1.1 million participants and carried out over nearly 20 years showed that the magic number for satisfactory sleep hours is only 6.5!
This respected clinical study showed that best survival rates were for those who slept 7 hours a night, while the group sleeping 8 hours or more a night were 12% more likely to die!
(Archives of General Psychiatry 2002:59:134-6)
Another surprise was that occasional bouts of insomnia were less harmful than taking sleeping tablets.
✅HOW TO SLEEP WELL
The basics include no alcohol or screen time an hour before bedtime.
And Vita Dieters have found that a warm Swiss Chocolate or Caramel Bliss, or a warm French Vanilla sprinkled with cinnamon or Banana sprinkled with nutmeg helped achieve deep and pleasant sleep. This is due not only to the Viita Diet shakes’ powerhouse of vitamins and minerals which aid sleep, but also an essential amino acid found in all Vita Diet shakes: Tryptophan.
✅TRYPTOPHAN
The Vita Diet shakes all contain COMPLETE PROTEIN , which means that they contain all essential amino acids including the powerful tryptophan.
Tryptophan helps treat insomnia and improves sleep quality. It is crucial for serotonin and melatonin synthesis, thus regulating appetite and sleep/wake cycles.
✅WAKE UP ALERT
So if you do wake up after only 6.5 hours sleep, there’s no need to pull on the black eye mask. Embrace the gentle early morning sun – great for Vitamin D –and go for that walk.
And then enjoy your Vita Diet Iced Coffee as a hot drink. The real Brazilian coffee added to the Vita Diet formula provides a super surge.
Try a light salad lunch with egg or tuna and have your main meal at night, and you are operating safely within the Vita Diet guidelines, whether on the weightloss program or on maintenance.
