Still not getting enough sleep?
Here at Beyond a diet, our aim is to purse a healthy sensible lifestyle. This normally involves three areas: Eating habits, lifting/exercising habits and sleeping habits. Guess how the game works?
I used to be the type of guy that would hit gym, one area, (view it like a piece of pie) only to consider the battle done. I was great at mastering one area, (weight lifting) while neglecting the rest. Sound familiar? I know, you keep telling your friends they need “to get it together.â€
During college, both my eating and sleeping habits were poor, or nonexistent! I didn’t have healthy habits or discipline in these other areas.
Simply put, “no sleep equals no recovery which equals no growth or change.â€

Used U.S. Sports Equipment Purchases Surpass $1 Billion for Second Time
WOW! unreal, how is this possible? Just kidding, I’m really not surprised. I find it interesting to note how much Americans spend on exercise equipment of various sorts, and the percentage of Americans that are still considered obese. Wait a minute, so the answer is not buying or spending more money? But I thought money could help to solve all our problems?

Lack of sleep is something I struggle with. I spend a heap of time at night posting a promoting my blog that I usually only get about 6 hours sleep or less. Which I know is terrible.

I understand, sleeping is an area we all continue to struggle with. When I first started my personal site “miguelpineiro.net,” I was dumping tons of time and energy into the development and promotion of the site. I lost much needed sleep.
here’s a tip! During college I realized if I got the sleep I needed, I could perform better because my focus, energy and so on. Sometimes it wise to call it a night, get some sleep, and get after it in the morning.
