Hi! I'm Donna Reish, IF teacher, weight loss coach, blogger, and half of "The Minus 220 Pound Pair" as my husband and I have lost over 220 pounds together (160 of that in the past couple of years through the Weight Loss Lifestyle habits and strategies I teach!). In this episode, I present the part one of two parts about How to Fix Your Sleep Problems.

In episode #34 of Think-Feel-Eat, I described the negative effects on our weight, belly fat, cravings, hunger, energy, and more that come from sleeping under seven hours a night. (Super interesting studies—go check them out!)

In this episode, part one of two parts on How to Fix Your Sleep Problems, I delve into the Daily Choices that we can make in our lives to influence our ability to fall asleep, stay asleep, and sleep well. (Next week I will look more into insomnia as well.)

This week I describe many daily lifestyle activities and choices that can keep us from sleeping well, including:
-Seeing sleep as a habit and a discipline that we must work on in order to overcome difficulties
-Consistently getting up and going to bed at similar times each day and night
-Movement and light first thing in the morning
-Morning routines
-Nighttime routines
-Working with our daily arousal system and our daily sleep system
-Melatonin
-Working out, exercising, and movement
-Napping and daytime lethargy
-And much more!
