Ever notice how just one rough night of sleep can throw off your entire day? You wake up groggy, reach for the extra coffee, maybe even give in to a sugary pick-me-up just to keep moving. Then, come nighttime, you try to unwind with a glass (or two) of wine, thinking it’ll help you relax.
But here’s the kicker: that glass of wine disrupts your sleep even more, setting off a vicious cycle.
When you don’t sleep well:
– You’re more insulin resistant (hello, stubborn belly fat)
– You crave carbs (and not the healthy kind)
– You’re better at storing those carbs as fat (exactly what we don’t want)
🚨 And it gets even more critical as we age.
Sleep is when your body rebuilds, repairs, and regenerates – it’s your recovery zone. So if you’re breaking down faster than you’re building up, that’s a fast track to accelerated aging.
Prioritize your sleep like you prioritize your workouts and nutrition. It’s a non-negotiable if you want to age powerfully.
