Sleeping Beauty’s secret to weight management

Once upon a time, there lived a princess cursed with a sleeping spell. She lay in bed grumpy, tired, and heavy from a few extra pounds. After a magical 8 hours of sleep, the curse broke and she opened her pretty eyes feeling fresh, smiling, and - oh, surprise! - a few pounds lighter. She realised that it wasn’t a curse. It was a blessing. 

Right now, there are hundreds of princesses looking for that kind of blessing – and we’re here to reveal that you can in fact burn fat while you sleep. Here’s how! 

slimming while you sleep isn't a fairytale, its scientifically proven

Slimming while you sleep isn’t a fairytale – it’s scientifically proven!

Along with a million other things on your plate, we understand how exhausting it is to plan a workout routine and meals for the whole week. Days are just too short, and you can't afford to sacrifice an hour for a workout. But what if we tell you, you can unite sleeping and fat burning? Sleeping and slimming at the same time is like a double reward for all the hard work you do.

Did you know that short nights can lead to weight gain – how's that possible? Suppose you’re exhausted from the previous day. In that case, you'll end up eating more the following one, because your body is hungry, not for food, but for energy.

A study* from the University of Wisconsin-Madison proved that if you sleep for the recommended 7 to 9 hours a night, you could even lose some weight! To get straight to the facts, the participants in the study slept 6.5 hours per night on average, and they increased their sleeping time to 8.5 hours nightly. The results showed that the participants saved themselves from eating an additional 270 calories

Not in death, but just in sleep, the fateful prophecy you'll keep

What does the future have in store for you? We believe it’s restful nights and weight loss. Check out our tips for better sleep hygiene and prove that you can burn fat while you sleep!

1. Limit screen time

We know how tempting it is to scroll through Instagram stories, follow up with the latest TikToks, and watch your favourite series. Still, your body will be grateful if you say goodbye to this habit. Blue light can mess up your melatonin (sleep hormone) production, and the whispers on the streets even claim that blue light increases evening hunger!

2. Keep a good bedtime schedule

And by that we mean consistent bedtime hours. An average adult woman needs seven to nine hours of sleep per night, although some experts argue that women’s need for sleep is slightly higher than men’s! In part, this is due to women's higher multitasking abilities and increased brain use (and you wonder why he can’t remember the things you said yesterday).

3. Be cool

Keep your bedroom a little bit cooler than your other rooms. The recommended temperature is between 16 to 20 degrees Celsius – perfect for deep sleep and snuggling under the blanket. Keeping your room darker can make you fall asleep faster, and the light won’t wake you up during the night – lower your electricity bills and turn down the lights.

And FYI, a little study confirmed that you can boost your metabolism and increase the calorie-burning brown fat by sleeping in a colder room! Thank you, science!

4. Train your muscles

Did you know that strength training burns calories even after the session? And that’s another secret how to activate nightly weight loss! A gym date after work or a home workout (with dumbbells or not) can turn your body into a fat-burning machine for the whole night. Try doing ten squats before bed and a 30-second plank.

5. Treat yourself to a small dinner and a cup of tea

Eat big in the morning and for lunch, but in the evening - step on the brakes. Overeating before bed will signal your body to digest – when, in reality, it should be recharging and detoxing. So, make your dinner light and small. 

A cup of (green) tea goes a long way – drinking a cup after lunch has some intriguing effects – it may speed up your fat-burning game due to a unique phytonutrient EGCG that promotes weight loss!

And remember, a sleepy brain is a hungry brain. So, keep your sleep routine in check to avoid mindless eating to keep your energy levels up!
