If you're on a weight loss journey, it's likely you are keeping a close eye on the food you eat and making sure you're getting enough exercise. But aside from these things, it's also hugely important that you are sleeping enough during the night - and doing all the right things in the lead-up to bedtime as well.
Reduce screen time Although it's tempting to lie in bed scrolling through your phone before you go to sleep for the night, it could be disturbing your slumber. This is because your body temperature naturally falls before bedtime, which helps to trigger sleep. So if you’re eating too close to bedtime, the increased digestive activity will see your temperature stay high, therefore not signalling to your body that it’s time to snooze.
