Your Bedroom Isn't Conducive to Sleep...

Getting a good night's sleep is essential to keeping your weight in check. When you're tired, levels of leptin, which controls appetite, decrease, while levels of ghrelin, an appetite stimulator, increase.  A few recommendations on working on your "sleep hygiene" to ensure you get enough zzz's -  swap your regular curtains for blackout shades, which will keep your room darker, or invest in a noise machine to cancel out distracting sounds. Even a too-soft or too-stuffed mattress can impede a restful night's sleep.  I find when I am tired - I am just lazy and tend to go for whatever is available and that usually isn’t the healthiest of choices!
