Part Two Sleep .....Are You Tired of Being Tired?.......... Life Coaching Activities.

 This week I will be offering    Thoughts from my Personal Trainer.

As you know, my Blog offers Life Coaching Activities & Tips for the varied parts of your Life. Our physical being, our Body and care of this body is essential to any success we might wish to achieve in Life. My Personal Trainer keeps me fit and healthy allowing me to achieve success in my choosen areas.

This is part Two of a three part series on, Are You Tired of Being Tired?

by Sean Mullowney, Holistic Personal Trainer.


Sleep  Sleep  Sleep

The second recommendation for increasing mother nature’s horsepower is to get enough sleep.


This may seem obvious to most but the majority of people don’t get enough sleep.

Prior to 1900 and the advent of the light bulb people were getting between 11-13 hours a night.  Now, most tend to stay up late watching TV or surfing the net and then eventually wake unrested the next morning and thus need stimulants like coffee or sugar to make it through the day.


This can have a cyclical response because those foods can interfere with proper sleep/cortisol rhythms thus  creating a need for those foods again the following day.
Sleep plays a vital role in our healing.

During waking hours we are primarily in a catabolic (breaking down) state and when we sleep we are in a restorative or anabolic state. The way the body responds is that we achieve our physical repair between 10pm and 2am and then our physic or nervous system repair between 2am and 6am. This is why those who elect to stay up late can still go to work the next day and focus, but their body feels less than ideal.  


Some of my clients who have had joint and musculoskeletal issues for years have gotten better just by getting to bed earlier. 
Be conscious that if you are falling to sleep in less than 5 minutes once in bed then you are probably sleep deprived.

Take your sleep seriously.

As Sean says......"this is just information if not put into use, but becomes knowledge when applied."

So if You are Tired of Being Tired...try Sleeping.

Later this week.....Part Three...Food.
Please share with family and friends...they will have more energy and thank you for it.
