How to avoid sleep problems when you are surrounded by electronic devices…

Is this doctor becoming Big Pharma’s worst nightmare?
I recently found out about this Harvard doctor who disagrees with Big Pharma and the way they treat diabetes…
So this Harvard Medical School researcher, Dr. Shoelson, wasn’t satisfied with today’s diabetes treatments…
…and how Big Pharma tells doctors to give out these very common diabetes medications – when they cause numbness in the fingers and toes…
So Dr. Shoelson conducted a landmark study on diabetes to find out what really causes diabetes…
…and how to treat diabetes without the dangerous chemicals and debilitating side-effects.
And Dr. Shoelson confidently established that it’s inflammation that’s causing Type 2 diabetes.
By using Dr. Shoelson’s landmark study results…
I was able to develop this diabetes-fixing solution that has already helped thousands of men.

It’s best if you don’t have a backlit clock – here’s why…
“Gotta catch the latest episode of the Late, Late Show.”
These shows are entertaining, but watching them may not be the best idea if you want a waistline that isn’t constantly expanding.
Honestly… It’s never been easier to stay up half the night.
Between cell phones and tablets and unlimited streaming TV shows, getting too little sleep is almost a given.
Add stress and insomnia to that, and it’s a recipe for walking around exhausted all the time.
Exhaustion is bad enough… But sleep loss doesn’t just make you tired…
It also affects other systems in your body.
And there seems to be a vicious cycle between sleep loss, overeating, and obesity.
We’ve known for a while now that people who get a solid night’s sleep have lower BMI (body mass index) than people who don’t.
Now we’re starting to uncover some of the reasons why.
Don’t feed the gremlins…
The movie Gremlins came out in 1984.
Those little critters were super-cute. But if you exposed them to bright light and water, or if you fed them after midnight, they turned into terrorizing monsters.
Feeding humans late at night is a lot like feeding gremlins late at night.
There is a vicious circle between craving junk food, nighttime snacking, and not getting enough sleep.
These three things feed off each other and help cause obesity.

“Nighttime snacking and junk food cravings may contribute to unhealthy eating behaviors and represent a potential link between poor sleep and obesity.”
This may not surprise you, but these researchers found that people who experienced a lot of junk food cravings ate late at night at twice the rate of other people.
And the problem is that eating late is directly linked to an increased risk for diabetes and obesity.
“The researchers found that junk food cravings were associated with double the increase in the likelihood of nighttime snacking, which was associated with an increased risk for diabetes.”
What I find fascinating is the cause of these junk food cravings…
There are many factors that cause people to crave foods that are bad for them…
Including the fact that foods are engineered to be as addictive as possible.
And we can’t do much about that engineering – except to avoid processed foods as much as we possibly can.
But one thing we CAN control is sleep.
Poor sleep quality or not enough sleep makes you crave junk food…
And that puts you at much higher risk for obesity, diabetes, and other health problems.
“They also found that poor sleep quality seemed to be a major predictor of junk food cravings – and junk food cravings were associated with a greater likelihood of participants reporting obesity, diabetes, and other health problems.”
Getting better sleep…
By now, I hope I’ve convinced you that getting enough sleep is absolutely critical.
That’s because sleep is important to so many body functions.
Sleep can help keep you healthy and keep your immune system strong.
So, it’s important to get enough sleep every night.
Most experts recommend between seven and nine hours of sleep a night.
But I found that this varies from person to person.
The biggest indicator that you ARE getting enough sleep is that you don’t feel tired all day.
One of the things we always tell our students is that you have to get the electronics out of your bedroom if you want to get better sleep.
It’s best if you don’t even have a backlit clock.
There are two reasons why these measures help.
First, electronic devices use blue light… And blue light puts your brain into a state of wakefulness.
Second, if you are watching TV or playing video games right before bed, you get caught up in a time suck – without that time suck, it is easier to fall asleep.
Sleeping is critical to health, and it’s critical to maintaining a healthy weight.
If you want to lose weight or maintain weight more easily, then you should skip late night snacking, late night screens, and get a better night’s sleep.

Instead of slowing down I am speeding up…
…from retired granddad to rock-climbing sex maniac!
Every day, I get letters from other health-seekers like you…
They’re TIRED.
Not just sleepy-tired. Not just-played-five-sets-of-tennis tired.
Bone tired. Dog tired. Tired all the time.
And do you know what I tell them?
“You’re tired because your metabolism has slowed down.”
This chart shows how your metabolism slows down as men get older: It shows how metabolism, called BMR or Basal Metabolic Rate, falls as we age.
This is why men over 50 are feeling so tired. And they start forgetting things and spiral down into “old age.”
But there’s a solution. It’s simple. It’s delicious. And it’s guaranteed.
This simple metabolic morning drink not only gets you off to a rip-roaring start – it provides enough energy to keep you humming for an entire day.
And unlike “crash and burn” energy drinks, it’s perfectly safe – and it’s not coffee.
