6 ways to burn more calories while sleeping

Would you like to burn more calories while you sleep? 

Research shows that getting enough sleep can help you burn more calories both at night and during the day. 

To burn more calories while you sleep, follow these steps:

1.  Include weight training in your exercise regimen during the day. One pound of fat only burns  nine calories but one pound of muscle burns approximately fifty calories per day. 

2.  Burn more calories at night by turning down the heater. Our bodies use more energy to stay warm. When you turn down the heater at night, you will increase your body's metabolic rate, which will cause your body burn more calories to keep you warm.

 3. Avoid carbohydrates for at least six hours before bed. 

When your body is low on carbohydrates, it starts using calories to burn fat for energy. If there are no carbohydrates in your system before bedtime, your body will burn more calories by burning fat for energy.

 4.  Drink green tea before going to bed. Green tea increases metabolism, which will help your body burn more calories.
5.  Sleep for more than seven hours each night. Getting more sleep will not only help you burn more calories at night, it will also help keep your metabolic rate higher during the day so that you also burn more calories during the day.
6. Meditate and relax before going to sleep. Relaxing causes cortisol levels to drop which causes your body to burn more calories.
